Coming up: The ingredients and how to make a tasty quick meal!
Enjoy as a Side, or as a Bun Filler!
In the above image, I used a can of Walmart's Great Value chunk chicken breast (don't knock it 'til you've tried it!), along with roughly four tablespoons of mayonnaise. I have about two ounces of chopped fresh celery in there too.
Mix well, add a bit of salt and pepper to taste.
Here are some other veggie options that can be added to chicken salad in addition to dehydrated celery and red onion:
Any combination of these vegetables can add more flavor, texture, color, and nutrients to chicken salad.

The recipes also include the food ingredient amounts to use when you have fresh food on hand!
What makes this an easy recipe is the convenience of canned pre-cooked chicken. These cans of chicken last for years (don't forget to check the date stamp on the can!) and are a great stand-in for fresh chicken.
Serve this variety of chicken salad mix on this fantastic Fresh Bread (click for recipe!)
Add a juicy slice of tomato, some mixed greens, and a few cool cucumber slices. Any way you serve this tasty salad, it makes a winner of a sandwich :-) and is ideal for picnics by the lake, or in your own backyard under the sun umbrella—and let's not forget those lazy days around the pool!
If you have a couple of spare cans of tuna lying around, then try your hand at making our tasty tuna salad too! The tuna salad is a breeze to make.
We have another recipe from John, AKA "Grandpa Yogi" over in the UK, and he titled it, "Tuna Pasta Bake," and as you might have guessed, it contains tuna, pasta, crème fraîche, and mushrooms. Please, check out his mouthwatering recipe here for Tuna Pasta Bake. Jeez, I'm so hungry right now...
Speaking of another tuna recipe, check out my Tasty Tuna Fish Soup here.
Whenever tuna and chicken cans go on sale, you bet I stock up on them, and so should you—put it away at today's prices, because you don't know how much more they will cost next week or next month.
I visit our local Sam's Club or BJ's Club and pick up 'chicken towers' or 'tuna towers'. They're priced right.
When a trip to the big box stores is inconvenient, I'll look out for buy-one-get-one's at our local grocery store (Publix).
When you visit our "How to dehydrate onions" page, you'll see this warning:
Air Ventilation Warning
You may also wish to have
your windows OPEN or put the A/C on
while you're dehydrating onions or garlic... as
the powerful odor
can certainly circulate throughout the entire house!
If
you ABSOLUTELY LOVE onions and garlic,
it's not such a bad thing, but if you don't...
just sayin'!

When you're busy dehydrating onions, it's not just about the aroma filling the house. Did you know that onions are poisonous to dogs?
Here's why:
In summary, onions contain certain compounds that can be highly toxic and damage red blood cells in dogs, leading to dangerous conditions like anemia. It's important to keep all onion products away from dogs.
Pretty much the same warning about onions applies to garlic. It, too, sounds the alarm. Though a small amount of garlic is unlikely to cause problems in most dogs, just know that their systems don't process garlic efficiently.
