Marshall Field's Chicken Salad (With Sandwich Variations)

Submitted by Sharlene~W

"Love the combination of flavors and textures in this savoury salad. Delicious also as a sandwich (leaving out the grapes). Try it cold or a yummy hot variation: on one slice of sweet, whole-grain bread, spread 1/2 cup of chicken salad and put under broiler until heated, but not bubbly; top with 3 slices of bacon and 1 slice of provolone cheese. Return to broiler until cheese is melted. Yum!"

I thought that this was a very good classic chicken salad recipe. I made sandwiches with it and served it on Hawaiian rolls and the sweetness really complemented the bold flavors of the dijon mustard and onions. I left out the nuts and grapes as I didn't have any on hand, but it was still great. Thanks for sharing.

I used this recipe, with no variations, for sandwiches and added lettuce and a few strips of crispy bacon on top. My family LOVED them, including my 3 year old! My husband and I had seconds. I will definitely be using this recipe in the future and I'm already thinking about when I can double the recipe and serve it for special occasions.

A few minor changes - used fresh squeezed lemon juice and Country (grain) dijon mustard and left out the grapes and nuts. I will add those items to my portion only as the rest of the family doesn't care for them in their salad. I think dried cranberries would be good too. Very yummy salad!

This recipe brought back long lost childhood memories! When I was small, my mom and I would go to on a shopping trip to Chicago twice a year, and we always ate lunch at one of the big department stores. I remember loving this chicken salad then (I thought putting grapes in the chicken salad was the funniest thing!) and I still love it now. I made it exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing. Thanks so much!!
