This old-fashioned recipe harkens back to our great-grandmother's day when a well-seasoned mix of chopped chicken and celery were bound together with homemade mayonnaise and a generous splash of fresh lemon juice. Boiled eggs and pickled relish were optional. Large hens, simmered until tender, yielded both white and dark meat for maximum flavor.

To the individual who was Afraid to make it due to no nutrition info? Simple ingredients and easy to figure out

The recipe is good. I add a little more celery but that’s a personal preference. Great summertime meal.
