Quick and Easy Chicken Salad Snack

This creation was a fun and fast version of chicken salad that came from Sam's Club.  I love the sample ladies (and gentlemen) that demo different products and give ideas on how to use them. Mainly, I love to fill up on the samples. Once (on a weekday), I went to Costco and they some lady offered me a plate for my samples.  It was Heaven.

This chicken salad isn't really your mother's chicken salad. It's more of a snack that can be used to top a Ritz cracker. Just find your favorite brand (if you have one) of canned chicken, and you're almost there.  I like to be the 6-pack of canned Kirkland brand chicken.

Chicken Salad Snack with Mrs. Dash
(all ingredients are measured to taste)
1 can of white meat chicken, drained
Mrs. Dash (original blend)
Mayonnaise (your favorite kind)
Salt (and Pepper)
Icicle Pickles (or other relish/pickle) optional
Ritz Crackers (or other cracker)

In mixing bowl, break apart chunks of chicken meat. Add Mrs. Dash, salt and pepper to chicken and stir. Gradually add mayonnaise until all of the chicken is covered (not too much). Taste and add additional Mrs. Dash if necessary. Dice pickles and add to chicken salad. Make sure you've drained the pickles well.  Serve atop your favorite cracker of choice.

I know many of you already have a great chicken salad recipe of your choice, but this is a great and super quick way to have a snack when you don't have time to make the real thing. Enjoy!!
