Palmdale: Here is one of the best Chicken Salad recipes out there!
Here Is What Most People Don’t Know About Making Chicken Salad:
- Letting the cooked chicken cool completely before mixing it in helps the salad stay fresh longer and keeps the texture firm.
- Adding a little bit of acid, like lemon juice or vinegar, makes the flavors pop and balances the creaminess.
- Mixing the dressing separately before adding it to the chicken keeps the salad from getting too wet or soggy.
- For this dish, we replace our salt with Bald Buck Seasoning.
