Elevated Chicken Salad
In order to upgrade the flavor of your average chicken salad, you’ll need to start with quality ingredients. Combine your shredded chicken with a blend of oil, orange juice, vinegar and seasoned salt to elevate the base flavors.
The secret to this recipe is that we’ve added in a hearty mix of RiceSelect® Royal Blend® Rice. Using aromatic Texmati® White, Brown, Wild and Red Rice, this blend offers an enchanting aroma and a sophisticated texture that distinguishes every bite of your salad.
For a signature creamy texture, we’ve used classic mayonnaise, which can be store-bought or homemade for an even more over-the-top taste. If you prefer, the mayo can be substituted with Greek yogurt, mashed avocado, hummus or even cottage cheese. Each will alter the flavor slightly, so experiment with what you like best and find which is your preferred option.
How To Serve
Serve this hearty chicken salad as an impressive appetizer at your next family gathering, potluck dinner or outdoor BBQ. Or, bring it along as a starter to add to your picnic meal menu. Create your own serving tray with this creamy salad along with crackers, tostones, chips, veggie sticks, pretzels, pita chips, lettuce cups and any other favorite.
If you prefer to make it into a filling, stuff vegetables, tortillas, lettuce wraps, pita bread or make a sandwich with your own Homemade Brown Rice Bread.
