    What We're Eating: Chicken Salad Sliders

    Published: Dec 20, 2012 by Blair Lonergan

    Jump to Recipe

    ‘Tis the season for holiday gatherings with friends, and food is always at the center of the festivities. I have the perfect recipe to share, whether you’re planning a cookie exchange with friends, a Christmas luncheon for the ladies, or even a New Year’s Eve party.

    Chicken Salad 1

    Every good hostess should  have an easy, go-to recipe for chicken salad, and I feel as though I have finally perfected mine! With the toasted almonds, celery, and cherries, these sandwiches are special enough for company, but also easy enough for a weeknight family dinner. They can be prepared in advance (bonus!), and pulled out when ready to serve.

    Chicken Salad 2

    Please notice the parsley…my mother (and grandmother) obviously left an impression! I would feel guilty serving a meal on my grandmother’s fine china without the proper garnish. As a side note, can you believe that this particular parsley was just plucked from my garden in late December? Talk about hearty herbs: my rosemary and parsley are still growing strong!

    Chicken Salad 3

    I should also note that this is basically the same recipe that appeared in a recent Madison Eagle cooking column, where I just substituted turkey for the chicken. You can obviously feel free to use whichever meat you have on hand.
