My family loves my old fashioned chicken salad. It’s simple and easy.

I know most people add grapes or other fruit to this recipe but we like our chicken salad with celery and onions. But we do add a secret ingredient. Ok maybe not too secret but a little bit of seasoned salt just makes this pop.

I've only recently become a chicken salad lover. Why only recently? I have no idea. I think someone somewhere along the line made one that did not taste good at all. But now, I love it...especially when it includes red onions!
