It is officially summer, and one of my FAVORITE summertime dish is my chicken salad!! It is easy to make and a wonderful mix of summertime flavors that are great all year round! I like to eat it straight from a bowl, but it is perfect on a soft, buttery croissant, in a sandwich wrap, with crackers or on a bed of lettuce. I hope you will try it! Happy cooking!!

RECIPE

1/4 cup real mayo
1/2 tsp prepared brown mustard
1/4 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp paprika
Black pepper to taste
1 (12.5oz) can chicken, drained well *
1 stalk celery, sliced
1/8 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup halved seedless red grapes

**I use canned white chicken, but you can use the mixed white and dark

Drain chicken well!!

Mix mayo, mustard and seasonings together in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients to mayo mixture and mix well, breaking up chunks of chicken to desired size.
