My wife came up with a great chicken salad recipe. lettuce, apples, walnuts, Miracle Whip, and … um …. Oh yeah, chicken. I like it in the pocket of pita bread.
Chicken salad should be kept simple. There should be 3 parts chicken to one part fresh crunchy veggies or nuts and just enough mayo to hold it together. The chicken should be seasoned before mixing and it too should be kept simple. Adding cheeses to chicken salad usually does little to improve it. I love cheese but not on chicken salad, maybe a bit of Feta if your going for a Greek gyro type. Chicken salad is best kept simple so it enhances the chicken.
Miracle Whip is not mayonnaise and doesn’t pretend to be. It is salad dressing and says so right on the label. Why is Miracle whip “slumming it”? It’s just a taste preference, nothing more.
I had to look up what is meant by chicken salad in the US. Seriously, you put a man on the moon, and you don’t understand that you can make a chicken salad that tastes like chicken, and like delicious chicken.

But it could still taste like a darned good chicken salad. (Potato chips don’t taste like potatoes, but I’ll bet that doesn’t stop Arlo.)

That’s the best recommendation for chicken salad I’ve ever heard. I don’t much like chicken.

She’s looks oddly happy preparing it. Is that because she knows he doesn’t like it?

The total is less than the sum of the parts?

And I’ll eat a Waldorf salad when you make one taste like Waldorf.

I like chocolate, steak, jicama, orange juice, whole wheat toast with butter, mashed potatoes… but I doubt I would like them mixed together.

WHO doesn’t like chicken salad?

Seems like it would be fitting here to have a modification of a Jack Nicholson diner order taken from Five Easy Pieces (1970).

Why do many people say “Tuna Fish Salad” but not “Chicken Bird Salad”?

One of the many things I don’t understand is taking a basic food and so adulterating it with “enhancements” that one can’t taste the basic food.

So your wife invent the Waldorf salad (minus a couple things)?

Not tasting like chicken sounds like a plus :)

Your loss, Arlo. Chicken salad is literally one of only a small handful of things that I make!

Best Little Whorehouse Salad – chicken with Ranch dressing instead of mayo.
