Creole Chicken Salad

June 29, 2025 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

So here’s a chicken salad a little on the zesty side. Chicken cooked coated in a healthy dose of Creole seasoning for zip is mixed with the trinity of Creole cooking, celery, green bell pepper and onion (milder green onion in this case) and coated in a peppy dressing of mayonnaise and Creole mustard with as much hot sauce as you can manage. I add some crunchy toasted pecans for … [Read more...] about Creole Chicken Salad

I have called myself a chicken salad savant before, because I love chicken salad in its many, many forms. So here I take a trip to the Med, with this herb-forward, light and tangy version.

Old Fashioned Chicken Salad with Cooked Dressing

May 10, 2015 by The Runaway Spoon 2 Comments

I am a late in life lover of chicken salad. As a child, I had an aversion to this type of mixed up dish coated in dressing – I felt they were primarily tools my mom used to hide things I didn’t want to eat. I was always concerned that chicken salad or casseroles were stealthy ways to get me to eat my vegetables. But I got over that as an adult, in part because I reached a stage … [Read more...] about Old Fashioned Chicken Salad with Cooked Dressing

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
