One of my favorite options for leftover roast chicken is homemade chicken salad. You can really tailor it to your mood and your refrigerator’s contents. Curried chicken salad or chicken & grape salad, even chicken salad with oranges… anything goes! I happened to have a smattering of random items in my pantry and decided to throw them together for a taste of autumn – today! Easy and delicious.
Autumnal Chicken Salad
4 tbs mayonnaise
¼ tsp celery salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Pinch of dried mint
2 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed
½ cup walnuts, chopped
1 apple, cubed
½ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup leek, thinly sliced
In a large bowl mix the mayonnaise, celery salt, pepper and mint. Add the chicken, walnuts, apple, cranberries and leek. Mix until thoroughly combined. Chill for an hour, then make a sandwich with good bread or, alternatively, serve atop romaine lettuce for a healthy lunch.
