LEMON-GINGER CHICKEN SALAD

Lemon-Ginger Chicken Salad image

Excellent recipe! Good by itself, on rolls, or between slices of bread. I served this at both of my daughters' baptism parties when they were wee little ones. Very popular--one of my all-time favorite dishes. From one of my all-time favorite cookbooks, "Creme de Colorado", a junior league cookbook.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh lemon and ginger will give your salad a bright, vibrant taste.
If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger. Just be sure to use less, as ground ginger is more concentrated.
Be sure to shred the chicken into small pieces. This will help it absorb the dressing and make it easier to eat.
If you're using a store-bought dressing, be sure to taste it before you add it to the salad. You may want to thin it out with a little water or lemon juice.
Serve the salad immediately, or it will get watery. You can also store it in the refrigerator for a few hours, but it's best when eaten fresh.

Conclusion:

Lemon-ginger chicken salad is a healthy, refreshing, and delicious salad that's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its bright, citrusy flavor and tender chicken, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
