Southerners have a special way of seasoning food that delights the taste buds. This is a chicken salad that will leave any sandwich lover begging for more. Perfect on a sandwich for lunch, for finger sandwiches, or to serve with crackers for any occasion. Read more Southern cooks season by "eye" and "taste" so many of our recipes start with small increments of seasonings with instructions to "add to taste". See less
