Enjoy old fashioned chicken salad with celery either on a salad or in a sandwich. Make chicken salad from canned chicken with a special seasoning.
My family loves my old fashioned chicken salad. It’s simple and easy. And you could either make this chicken salad from canned chicken or you could shred leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken from your local market. I know most people add grapes or other fruit to this recipe but we like our chicken salad with celery and onions. But we do add a secret ingredient. Ok maybe not too secret but a little bit of seasoned salt just makes this salad pop.

Very good, we had it as a salad plate with fresh cucumber & Tomatoes. I didn't have seasoned salt so I found a recipe and made my own.
