Expert Tips for Making Chicken Salad

  • Add Some Flavor! To add some flavor to your chicken salad, add ingredients like pickles, olives, cranberries, or even grapes!
  • Too Much Moisture? Adding watery vegetables, like celery, to your chicken salad on top of the wet ingredients you use can cause it to be watery. Make sure you use those vegetables in moderation!
  • Let It Chill: Letting your chicken salad refrigerate for a few hours before eating it will allow it to soak up the flavor!
