Decent Chicken Salad

I am definitely a big fan of chicken salad. Not sure why, but I have always loved it.

This recipe is interesting, but I can’t say it was my favorite.

First, there is just way too much egg! I have mentioned before that I am not a fan of eggs. I hate hard boiled eggs especially. So this was not ideal for me.

The rest of the salad was good though. I was able to pick out the egg for the most part and enjoyed it.

The pickles add a nice touch. You get that tangy flavor, but it is not overwhelming.

I do think there was way too much mayonnaise too. I would cut it a bit. The salad was a little soupy.

One point is that I did cut the recipe down. Obviously the recipe is for a crowd. I halved it, then halved it again. So really I just made a quart recipe. And we still had some leftovers!

I served the chicken salad on a bed of lettuce garnished with strawberries.
