Kathy's Low Carb Chicken Salad

chicken_salad

This is the best chicken salad I have ever had. My dear friend, Kathy, was so kind to share the recipe. This has been served at bridal and baby showers and all to rave reviews! Another added plus is the fact it is so SIMPLE!! I do add a little more than she does, but on what I add I will put “optional” beside it. Give it a go…you will love it!

Ingredients:
2 cups chicken (can be canned)
1/2 cup celery, chopped fine
1/2 cup almonds-toasted (I use pecan pieces and I toast them in the microwave)
1 cup Kraft Mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 Tablespoon onion, minced (I use Texas sweet and I use about 1/4 cup)
1/8 teaspoon salt
Dried cherries (to taste), optional

Directions:
Drain and crumble your chicken until it is very fine…I use a chopper! You want it the consistency you find in tuna salad. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. You may serve on crackers, bread, or in a romaine lettuce wrap. If this was any easier you would be…SLEEPING!! Enjoy, sweet friend!!
*To toast pecans in the microwave, put them on a plate and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and microwave an extra 30 seconds until desired flavor
