I want to share with you the BEST chicken salad recipe in the world! Yes, Hotel Roanoke got back to me with their recipe!
Conner’s Chicken Salad
1 pound chicken, grilled or roasted
2 oz. onion, fine diced
2 oz. celery, fine diced
3 oz. mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. honey
1 lemon, zest and juice
A dash or Sriracha, or your favorite hot sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
yum!
Almost all of our snow has melted leaving a big muddy mess in its place. Yuck!
I love old stoneware, and I actually remember when blacksmith shops were in business! Looks like a yummy recipe too.
ReplyDeleteThe salad sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing it and I love that old jug.
ReplyDeleteNot happy with your mud-lucious roads? Head North with that recipe. More snow tonight.
ReplyDeleteVery cool old jug! Hope your chicken turns out just like the hotel's (or better!).
ReplyDeleteI've copied that recipe down, I do love good chicken salad, can't wait to try it! Love that jug, I collect jugs and crocks, they remind me of an earlier time when food was a slower process... I'm so glad you came by to share on Weekly Top Shot #66!
ReplyDeleteThose old jugs are great! And getting harder to find.

ReplyDeleteLovely peek of a (wine?) jug - and I'm so impressed the hotel got back to you, the recipe sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this recipe. If you can believe this, we make chicken salad almost every weekend to take to the beach. We LOVE it. We always put grapes cut in half and a pinch of pepper and these two ingredients seem to bring it alive. I will definately try this combination now.
