Is there any chicken salad better than cranberry chicken salad?

That's basically salad Olivieh (ألوفيه‎) - Iranian chicken salad with barberry. Yes it's delicious.

OP would go nuts in a Chicken Salad Chick store.

The best I've ever had was a chipotle chicken salad.

"Cranberry turkey salad"

same recipe, same ingredients, but with turkey.

Chicken salad with fruit in it. No thanks.

I think the best chicken salad is simple without additives like curry or fruit or nuts or wood tacks.

I like chicken salad with cranberries. I also like "wine country" chicken salad. And curried chicken salad is great on occasion as well.

A bit too sweet for me if the cranberries are predominant. I like to make curry chicken salad with diced celery in it for the perfect light crunch.

I like to make my chicken salad with Formula 409 and Mr. Pibb.

Nah, I'm good. As unappealing as putting pineapple on pizza.

Hmmm...today might be a good day to have a chicken salad sandwich with cranberries in the mix.

Or, ham/pineapple/jalapeno pizza.

Both sound fucking delicious right now.

I would leave out the curry but yes celery is a vegetable I would put in. I’d also garnish with a slice of tomato and some lettuce. Typical garden veggies.

I wouldn’t put fruit in a sandwich — no strawberries on my ham sandwich.

Edit: I make one exception — leftover Thanksgiving sandwiches, because they’re supposed to replicate the holiday meal. I put cranberry sauce on — had to come clean on that!

Diced jicama is a good substitute for celery, if you want a light clean vegetable crunch but dislike celery. I like either, but there were many strong feelings on that recent celery thread.

You know...I get that some people don't like celery. It's a stronger flavor and many people have strong feelings about it, similar to broccoli.

However, JICAMA is the most bland, useless vegetable I've ever encountered.

Seriously...how about some crunchy water?!

I'm a click troll using the usual challenge-language games to pretend to actual traffic!

My puss-he stinks.

Oh do fuck off R10, you snarky Mary. My money is you'll never go through with it.

r15 I bought curry chicken salad at Trader Joe's for tomorrow's lunch. After I posted on this thread, I actually called a local pizza joint I haven't been to before to ask whether I could buy some Hawaiian pizza by the slice. I can. And I will. But I may have plans tonight with someone else, so outlook for pizza tonight is iffy.

So yes, I didn't go through with either so far today, but have made plans for both for tomorrow.

Is that a kiwi in there?

You know how I feel about hairy fruits!

A market near me makes a fantastic yellow curry chicken salad with sliced almonds, currants or red grapes, and apple pieces. Its a great summer option because its light, fresh and substantive without being too heavy.

I like the curry one as well, but any chicken salad from an unknown kitchen gives me pause since it seems like a potential ticket to salmonella town. Something about it doesn’t sit right with me.

Pomegranate.

I love nothing more than a chicken berry cobbler.

You can do it with raisins or grapes or walnuts and it’s good. Even apples. Oh dear I know what I’m eating tommorrow….
