Quickest Chicken Salad

So, does it count as stealing if you work at a restaurant and, through no fault of your own, you remember a few of their recipes long after you quit?

Good. I didn't think so either.

This recipe is the result of working at a sandwich shop many summers ago. I always volunteered to be the one to mix up a giant vat of it, mainly because it meant I got to sample it multiple times. You know, to make sure the quantities were right. It often took me quite a few tries (and tastes) to get it juuuuust right. Strangely, I'm not nearly as fussy about when I make it at home. I can't imagine why that could be.

For me, chicken salad is one of those things that should be simple. It's one of the laws of the universe. Which is why this is my go-to recipe. There are really 4 main ingredients and then a few seasonings.

Chicken Salad
There aren't a lot of exact measurements in this recipe I'm afraid. It really varies according to what you like. I like mine pretty crunchy, so I go for a lot of celery. Luckily, there aren't many ingredients, so it's not hard to adjust for your taste.

cooked chicken, shredded
celery, chopped
green onions, chopped
mayonnaise
garlic salt
salt and pepper

In a large bowl, combine chicken, green onions, and celery. Slowly add and mix in mayo until it reaches your desired consistency.

Season with garlic salt until it's garlicky enough for you. Then add pepper and taste to see if you need salt. Often, the garlic salt is enough for me.
