Recipe Korner: Chicken Salad

By Doc Kheti

2 lbs. fully cooked lean chicken sliced into small cubes
½ cup finely chopped white, red, or yellow onion (substitute green onion or leek)
½ cup finely chopped celery
2 hard-boiled eggs (medium to large)
1 tsp. fresh basil
1 tsp. fresh parsley
1 tsp. finely ground black pepper
1 pinch of garlic powder
½ - 1 cup of mayonnaise

Combine the first 7 ingredients in a large bowl.

Finely chop the 2 hard-boiled eggs after they have been chilled then add.

Add mayonnaise, just enough to moisten the chicken salad.

Mix well, cover and then chill to allow the flavors to mingle.

Salt to taste with finely ground sea salt if you wish.

Upon serving, garnish with your favorite lettuce, greens, or tomato; or serve with your favorite bread or cracker.

Organic, low-fat, and low-calorie ingredients are preferred for this wonderful chicken salad.

Enjoy!
