Chicken Salad - So Easy to Make!

Ingredients for Chicken Salad:

• 1 tablespoon dehydrated celery
• 1/2 tablespoon dehydrated red onion
• 1/2 of a 12.5 oz. can of canned chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons real Mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons regular or reduced fat sour cream
• 3 tablespoons ricotta cheese
• 1/2 - 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard (optional) salt and ground black pepper to taste

So Easy To Make:

1. Use clean cold water to re-hydrate the celery and red onion.
2. When plump, put in a medium sized glass bowl, add the mayonnaise, sour cream, ricotta cheese, and mustard – mix together well.
3. Add the chicken, crumbling it a bit as you go, squeezing out any excess liquid. Stir ingredients to mix in the chicken.
4. Place in an airtight tub in the fridge to chill.

What makes this an easy recipe is the convenience of canned chicken. These cans of chicken last for years (check the date stamp always) and are a great stand-in for fresh chicken. Serve it on fantastic Fresh Bread! or use this alternate fast bread recipe!

Add a juicy slice of tomato and some mixed greens, and some 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!

If you happen to have a couple of spare cans of tuna lying around, then you may want to try your hand at making our tasty tuna salad too! The tuna salad is a breeze to make.

Whenever tuna and chicken cans go on sale, you can 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 and pick up 'chicken towers' or 'tuna towers'. They're priced right.
