How To Make A Scrumptious Meal Without Breaking The Bank

If you have a big get-together coming up and you know there will be plenty of hungry people around, this recipe is for you! Here’s a super easy way to feed the whole neighborhood – this chicken salad is not only delicious; it’s also very simple to put together and it’s easy on your wallet!

This chicken salad recipe from ReMarkable Home is one of my all-time favorites. You can make this salad a little lighter and sweeter by adding some grapes or chopped apples – or choosing low-fat ingredients, like explained on the next page. Don’t worry if you’re not planning for a party; you can make half a batch or even just 1/4, without a hassle.

I love serving this salad as a sandwich (I use either croissants or toast) but you could definitely serve it as a side dish, with almost any entree you can think of. I am dying to try this with cheesy scalloped potatoes – somehow I have a feeling that combination would completely tantalize my taste buds!

Quick Tip: You can easily make just half a batch or even 1/4 batch for a smaller group of people.

I wanted to have a bunch of the ladies over from my church group for a luncheon one day so that we could discuss some upcoming events. I have a bit of an organizational issues, and I can’t settle down until I have everything figured out just perfectly. It can be a pain at times to live with this kind of personality, but I’ve come to terms with the fact of that’s just who I am. Most of these ladies understand it, and they are thankful that I take the reins and put everything in order for them. It sure does make everything flow a lot more nicely. If there are ever any questions about an upcoming event, meeting, or fundraiser, they know where to turn. That’s reassuring for everyone involved.

I sometimes would bribe the ladies with lunch, just so that I could be certain that they would all show up. I think they all would anyways. At least I hope that they would, unless of course they had something that was conflicting in their schedule that wouldn’t allow them to.

So, the last time that they came, I made a yummy chicken salad recipe that I had found on Spend With Pennies. It was really easy to put together, and the end result was amazing. Everyone loved it. All the ladies were thankful they came for a day of planning that day I’m sure!

Quick Tip: Add in grapes, raisins, and curry powder.

Are you still eating your chicken salad with *just* mayonnaise? It’s time to dress up the blandness and take this lunch staple to the next level.

Adding in juicy grapes give you a little pop of sweetness and using romaine lettuce prevents it from being overly mushy. Add in some other goodies like tomato, cheddar cheese, and a mixture of ranch with the mayonnaise for an extra boost of flavor. This recipe calls for using canned chicken, however feel free to use rotisserie chicken for a fresher alternative! Make this for a brunch get-together, or as an everyday midday meal – you’ll love it!
