This chicken salad sandwich recipe has been in my family for generations with just a few tweaks being made here and there. It was even served at my parents wedding 27 years ago and was in the family for who knows how long before then.

Everything has pretty much stayed the same, but the original recipe uses celery & we always swap it out for apples! They give the same great crunch, but add more sweetness and a little tartness to the salad which I think it benefits from. But feed free to do celery instead, or even in addition to the apples if you want to!

It’s SUPER simple & comes together in just minutes! The most time consuming thing is dicing everything up. Once that’s done, you just add it all into a large bowl.

You can mix the dressing up on its own and then add it to everything else, but honestly, I just add the ingredients straight into the bowl and it always works out! All that’s to the dressing is mayo, lemon juice, mustard, and a little bit of salt. All things you probably have on hand already!

Then give it a good mix until everything is dressed and it is mixed well. It’s best served cold, so I suggest refrigerating it for a couple hours before serving if you have the time!

My favorite way to eat it is on croissants! Costco has amazing croissants that are pretty good sized. If you want smaller ones, I’ve found that Walmart has great ones in their bakery and a couple sizes to choose from! Add everything to your next grocery order & I promise you won’t regret it!

  • 1 can Pineapple Tidbits, drained
  • 3/4 cup Slivered Almonds, Toasted
  • 1 1/2 cups Red Grapes, Halved or Quartered

Instructions

  1. Add everything together in a large bowl & mix together gently with a wooden spoon or spatula.

Notes

To toast almonds, spread them on a cookie sheet and place in the oven under the broiler. Watch them and stir every couple minutes until golden brown. Don't walk away or they will inevitably burn.

If you like a more savory chicken salad, then swap the apples out for chopped celery!

This is a great recipe to use up rotisserie chicken!
