Chicken salad is a juicy, fine highlight on any party buffet. There are many different recipes and variations, but this is particularly delicious.

For many years, the chicken salad has been an integral part of every delicatessen shelf and hardly any party buffet. It is considered finer and nobler than the pasta salad and is just as quick and easy. In addition, the chicken salad is excellently suited as "leftovers", as "Frau am Grill" Anja Auer explains.

The chicken salad as leftovers ...

For example, if you have prepared a chicken broth - whether with a soup chicken or with a "normal" chicken. And for the chicken, or rather for its meat, has no immediate use. So it makes sense to keep this meat and use it later for a chicken fricassee. Or just release the meat and quickly prepare a chicken salad . Which in turn can be kept in the fridge for several days.
