I'm taking this chicken salad to Canton First Monday tomorrow.
The recipe is in Trisha Yearwood's cookbook~
Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood
It's so good!
In a large bowl:
Dice into small pieces chicken, add celery, grapes, almonds, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, poppy seeds, and dill. Mix until the salad is fully combined.
Store in the refrigerator.
Chicken Poppy Seed Salad~
2 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 celery stalks, finely chopped
4 cups seedless grapes, halved
2 cups slivered almonds
2 cups mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 tablespoons dried dill
Boil the chicken in a large pot filled with water until done, about 45 minutes. Drain the chicken and set aside to cool. Once the chicken is cooled, dice into small pieces and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the celery, grapes, almonds, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, poppy seeds, and dill. Mix until the salad is fully combined. Store in the refrigerator.
Hope to see you at Canton this weekend!

I love the new songs you've added to your playlist. I rarely get the chance to listen to a radio anymore. Love your taste in music.

Love this salad. I switch out the celery for chopped water chestnuts. I love to eat it with French/toasted Garlic Bread. YUM!

Tina,
Looks delicious! It looks perfect for lunch on a hot, summer day when you really don't want to heat up the kitchen.
Batten down the hatches when you're in Canton. This wind is awful!!!
