Nanny's Chow Mein Chicken Salad image

Nanny, my kids' great grandmother on their dad's side, shared this recipe with me 18 years ago when she lived with us. This is a nice salad that's easy to make, light, healthy, & is a wonderful way to use up any left-over chicken you may have In the fridge. Nanny was a cook in the school cafeteria, and this is a salad she made...

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out bland and watery.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It turned out great!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped hard-boiled eggs for extra protein.

This salad is so versatile. I've served it on a bed of lettuce, in a wrap, and even on top of a baked potato. It's always a crowd-pleaser.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The dressing is tangy and flavorful, and the chicken is tender and juicy.
