Storage Tips
If you have leftover chicken salad, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. This allows you to enjoy it in various ways—try it on crackers, in wraps, or even on a bed of greens for a quick salad.
However, it’s best to fill the tomatoes just before serving to maintain their freshness and texture. If you plan to prepare these for a gathering, consider having the filling ready and hollowing the tomatoes a few minutes before serving to keep everything crisp and delightful.
Variations to Try
Feel free to customize the chicken salad to your taste! Add ingredients like diced celery for crunch, grapes for a touch of sweetness, or even nuts like almonds for added texture. Each variation can offer a new twist on this classic dish.
For a Mediterranean flair, consider adding olives, feta cheese, or sun-dried tomatoes to the chicken salad. This not only enhances the flavor but also gives your dish a unique and exciting profile that will keep your guests talking.
