My fiancee, Kenny, had a grandma who made the most delicious food despite not having a sense of smell or great taste buds. When him and I got together nearly 8 years ago (holy cow!), she made this super delicious chicken salad. Normally, I hate chicken salad because some have fruit in them and it makes them too sweet, or there are nuts and the extra crunch hurts to chew (by the way, I have very bad teeth. Boo), but hers had none of that. All basic things.
Then, she passed away about 5 years ago. Never once writing her recipes down or really telling anyone how they’re made. You learned to make it if you helped her make it.
Today, I had a hankering for some of her chicken salad. So, I made it by taste memory. Enjoy.
2 cups of fully cooked and shredded chicken breast
1/2-1 cup of mayonnaise (I used a whole cup and store brand)
1/2 cup or two stalks of celery, diced
2-3 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1 onion, diced (I used a sweet onion)
Salt
Pepper
Yellow mustard
Once your ingredients are all prepped, put them in your bowl or container and mix. Add salt, pepper, and mustard to fit your taste.
