I’ve made chicken salad all of once. To me, it’s not worth the effort when I can go down the street and buy it fresh from the Ingles deli. I know there are many variations of chicken salad, but this one has served me well. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve transferred this stuff from the deli container to a pretty bowl and served it to guests.

It often saves dinner for my family when we don’t feel like cooking, or more accurately, when we have nothing to eat and are forced to go grocery shopping. I definitely don’t want to cook after I just went to the grocery store, so we buy some chicken salad for dinner. The extent of our cooking on days like these is to roll and bake the crescents to go with.

By the way, if you don’t already graze at the supermarket, you should. Those samples are there to be eaten. And you just might find something you really like. That’s how we got hooked. Find an Ingles near you or give your local deli a chance to impress you.
