CREAMY & ZESTY SOUTHERN CHICKEN SALAD

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 whole roasted chicken, meat off and diced
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • Juice from 1 lemon (about 2-3 Tablespoons)
  • ⅓ - 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Zatarain's Big&Zesty Creole Seasoning (optional)

Directions

  1. Put cooked chicken in a food processor and pulse a few times to rough chop. Continue pulsing for about 30 seconds until the chicken is finely chopped. *If you turn “on” the food processor, your chicken will become a “paste” instead of very finely chopped. Don’t do this.

  2. In a bowl, combine lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt, pepper and Big&Zesty (optional) and blend well.

  3. Toss chicken into the bowl, combine a few times with a spatula and throw in finely chopped celery.

  4. Serve with crackers or on top of a bed of lettuce.
