  • Add your favorite mix-ins. Some popular mix-ins for chicken salad include grapes, walnuts, almonds, celery, onion, and hard-boiled eggs.
  • Season the chicken salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Chill the chicken salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the chicken salad more refreshing.
  • Serve the chicken salad on a bed of lettuce or with crackers. You can also use it as a sandwich filling.

Conclusion:
