It can be served hot or cold (though more often cold). It’s great for picnics but works for fancy dinners. You can serve it with a side dish or two or all by itself in a bowl.

Here are some more ideas for your chicken salad:

  • on a bed of lettuce
  • in a lettuce wrap
  • over a pile of rice or potatoes (hot or cold)
  • with chips
  • in a sandwich (this is my favorite!)
  • on crackers
  • on slices of artisan bread

Some lovely side dishes:

  • spinach salad
  • cabbage salad / coleslaw
  • potatoes
  • rice
  • vegetable soup
  • sauteed vegetables
  • fruit salad

Presentation

Depending on the consistency of your chicken salad, a beautiful way to present it is using an ice cream scoop to make a perfectly rounded ball atop some bedding (lettuce, etc).

A looser, chunkier chicken salad looks great in more of a pile, scattered a bit with a drizzling of brightly colored dressing (creamy french, red pepper flecks, yellow mustard, etc).

A small bunch of red grapes or green parsley makes a pretty garnish.
