Let’s face it. No one wants to cook in the heat of summer. Lately I’ve been experimenting with chicken salad. I’ve ditched the mayo and added a ton of flavor with ingredients I had on hand. I’m sharing four of my favorite over at Mom Generations today. Be sure to go check them out here.
Out of the four, I have found my favorite, which I named Sicilian Chicken Salad. So fresh and delicious!
I used left over chicken breast I had in the fridge. I shredded it up in the food processor and added a little bit of olive oil and fresh lemon juice. I then mixed in some capers I chopped up. There was something about the brininess of the capers paired with the zesty, tangy lemon that just wowed me. You should give it a try. The perfect fresh, light taste of summer!
is it possible to replace the chicken with smoked salmon or shrimps?
we sadly eat no meat, but your recipe sounds tasty and it looks just great!
Definitely…or tuna? Salmon sounds really good!
tuna would be great, I agree – thanks :o)
sounds wonderful, and I am totally hungry now. lol
Now I really want chicken salad with capers!
Hay, we just got back from Sicily and I can affirm that the cannoli there and your chicken salad look very similar! They’d taste completely different, though as the cannoli is a tasty dessert :).
