If we’ve been Friday friends for very long, you know I love to mix things up a bit and try new recipes. I ran across a chicken salad recipe recently that used red bell pepper and the olives, but I thought the recipe needs some more flavor! That’s when I decided to add the onions and banana peppers and give it a try. I included this to my FNPP charcuterie board last week, and it was a hit! The flavor combination really works. Give it a try next time you’re craving some chicken salad.
Confetti Chicken Salad

1 rotisserie chicken, deboned and chopped

5 green onions, chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
The juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon celery seed
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Combine the chicken and all the vegetables in a large mixing bowl and set aside. In a smaller bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery seed, salt and pepper mixing well. Once combined, pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetables and mix well. Store in the refrigerator.
