We like chicken salad but not as a sandwich or with all the extra fruits or nuts that are sometimes added. Here is a basic easy but tasty chicken salad that would be wonderful for a luncheon or supper on a hot night. Submitted for RSC #10.

This was such good chicken salad! I have never used canned chicken, but I sure will again. I had no lemon pepper, so I used Pennzey's Sunny Paris seasoning. Also used a little less mayo. Served it on spinach leaves with home-made garlic croutons. Made for your football win.

Oh, how very, very good this is! DH and I really love the onion in this. I didn't add the tomatoes, because they are not in season yet, and nothing ruins a good salad faster than a bad tomato. This will be a very welcome addition to our summer salad nights. Thanks for posting!
