Poached or roasted chicken, celery, pickle relish and mayonnaise are the components of traditional Southern chicken salad. Some cooks enhance the flavor and texture with chopped pecans or diced sweet onion. A lot of folks, however, frown upon the addition of grapes, apple or other fruits, insisting pickle relish is all the sweet you need. Of course, you can add whatever you like, though the down-home versions are usually no-frills.
As with most Southern salads, mayonnaise brings all the ingredients together to make one delicious dish for cool suppers, light lunches, picnics and potlucks. Thanks to the mayo, chicken salad is also spreadable, which makes it just right for canapés or elegant finger sandwiches for cocktail parties.
