The first chicken salad recipe is one that I use to fill a pineapple shell to serve for lunch. Using cooked chicken as the main ingredient many other ingredients such as fresh vegetables, cooked grains, herbs, spices or fruit can be added to make a chicken salad. These ingredients generally have a binder ingredient like mayonnaise, sour cream or some other salad dressing.
