I’ve never really been a big fan of chicken salad. Mainly because it’s always loaded up on mayonnaise and has too many veggies, and grapes, and you know how I feel about savory and sweet combinations. I’ve never been a fan. So I was somewhat hesitant to try out this recipe, but as I was flipping through Amber Wilson’s gorgeous cookbook, For the Love of the South, I came across this recipe and the photo alone made me want to make it immediately. It’s the simplest of chicken salad, flavored with just a bit of salt and pepper, fresh herbs and what really makes it over the top, is the homemade mayonnaise. I love that this isn’t really served as a sandwich at all, but you can if you want to, rather it’s served on crostini to really hone in on that appetizer/snack feel to it. A little Creole mustard and a few cornichons round out everything so nicely in the park. The good news is that it’s super easy to make for yourself, but the bad news is that it’s super easy to make for yourself, and having this on hand in the fridge 24/7 seems a little crazy.
