Recipe: My MIL's Chicken Salad

This is a really great recipe for when you don't have a lot of time and need something wholesome and tasty for lunch sandwiches or as a dish for a cold supper. This is really great for summer as it is nice and light and a great twist on the usual Chicken Salad. My Mother In Law makes this as a precursor to almost every Friday night dinner and We LOVE it!!

Ingredients:

Chicken: about 2 1/2-3 cups chopped fairly small

Cucumber: 3 or 4 medium cucumbers (I use the seedless English style, with the skin) chopped small, should be about 1 1/2-2 cups

Dill Pickles: 5 or 6 chopped small, should be about 1 1/2-2 cups

Spring Onion: 2-3 chopped fine with tops (this is optional, my MIL doesn't use them but I sometimes like to just for variety)

Mayo

Ketchup

Also Need:

Medium Salad Bowl

Small bowl to make dressing

Spoon for mixing

To Prepare:

Add the Chicken, Cucumbers, and Pickles (and Spring Onion if you are using) into the bowl. Next in the small bowl ad a few large dollops of Mayo and a hefty squirt of Ketchup. Mix together. It should end up fairly pink. Add the Dressing to the salad and adjust Mayo/Ketchup amounts to your taste. Spread on bread for Sandwiches, eat on Crackers, or add to a bed of lettuce for a yummy salad. Enjoy!!!
