My roommate and I have an ever evolving chicken salad recipe. It depends on who’s primarily making it, what herbs are growing in the back yard, and what’s in the fridge. No matter how much it changes, it’s always a hit. We use Costco rotisserie chickens- they’re gluten free, good, easy, and $5. And as far as I know, these brands for mustard seem alright to me: Inglehoffer, Grey Poupon. As for mayo, it’s always Duke’s- good southern ladies won’t bother with any other mayo.
Lemon Herb Chicken Salad
1 rotisserie chicken, pulled off the bone into chunks
2 spring onions (or 5 green onions), diced
1 small bunch grapes, cut in half
1/4 C slivered almonds
1/4 C chopped fresh sage + oregano
Dressing:
zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1/2 lemon
3T mayo
2 T grain mustard
1 T dijon mustard
1 t horseradish
1/2 t sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
Mix all dressing ingredients. These are not exact measurements- mix everything according to your taste. Stir the dressing into the salad ingredients. Serve over romaine lettuce with GF crackers (I like Crunchmaster brand.)
No gluten? No problem.
