Suzy’s Famous Chicken Salad
Posted On July 13, 2020
This is a very simple and classic chicken salad. My wife, Suzy (Suzanne) has been making this for years and it doesn’t get any simpler or better than this. I’m a “plain” chicken salad person who doesn’t like nuts, grapes or fruit in mine, so this one is perfect if you are that type of person. 🙂
