The leftover meat from a roast or stewed chicken presents an infinite array of options. But whether it meets a classic American mayo-and-celery, a vibrant mixture of grapes and nuts, or a sesame-spiked Asian slaw, there's no better purpose to which cold chicken can be put than a salad. We love chicken salad on toasted white bread as a sandwich, with crisp crackers for a snack, simply eaten on its own in a bed of lettuce, or right out of the bowl. These 7 recipes are among our favorites—simple, savory, and elegant, they're true classics.

Laura's Mom's Chicken SaladSavory chicken salad gets a sweet kick from a generous dose of pickle relish in this Southern recipe, which comes from web editorial assistant Laura Sant's mom. It's perfect on soft rolls or white toast, and we particularly like it with good old Saltines.See the recipe for Laura's Mom's Chicken Salad » |
