ELLEN'S FAMOUS CHICKEN SALAD



Ellen's Famous Chicken Salad image

This is an outstanding chicken salad recipe. It makes delicious sandwiches for afternoon tea parties - have copies of the recipe on hand! The recipe comes from "Swe-e-e-et Tea & Magnolias" by Ellen Powell. Note: Salad cubes are produced in North Carolina by the Mt. Olive Pickle Company. The product is available in grocery stores throughout the southeastern United States. Finely diced pickles are a decent substitution, however.
