  3. I put grapes in my chicken salad too. droooools.

    At the restaurant (Pampered Palate in Hooterville) we made a Dill Chicken salad...we used sour cream, mayo, dill, chopped hard cooked eggs, celery...you know I can't remember if we used onion or not...but I think not. Then stacked it with bacon strips, lettuce. YUM.

  4. I have never had grapes in chicken salad. I'm saving this recipe, but I'm not sure about those grapes. :)

  5. Dried cranberries is yummy in there too! I've even had it with mandarin oranges!

  6. I've had it with pineapple, too, but don't like that as much. Grapes are yummy- I've never seen toasted almonds, but I can put a few in and decide if I like it before I "contaminate" the entire bunch!

    And dill sounds good, too!

  10. Scott doesn't like onions, either. I usually leave them out. (Unless I can sneak one in without him knowing!)

  11. well all my wives used to sneak them in. Sometimes we know and sometimes we don't. When the onion is thoroughly cooked in, we often don't know. But if we get that taint, it is really revolting.

  12. Yes, that is his complaint entirely. He doesn't care if I sneak one in if he can't taste that eye-watering onion taste.
