Chicken salad

A traditional party dish, chicken salad should taste of chicken, the other ingredients being present only to add variety of texture and to enhance the flavor. So always keep proportions of at least twice as much chicken as the total of your other ingredients. Since it is usually combined with mayonnaise, be careful to refrigerate it, particularly if you make it in advance.
