I love chicken salad, but it seems like no matter what I do, it ALWAYS tastes the same. One time I'll do Srirracha-spiked mayo, another time I'll do dried cranberries and walnuts, sometimes just dill mayo- it's always just eh.
Then yesterday I realized I had some pesto on hand as well as some leftover grilled, boneless, skinless chicken. I diced up the chicken, some celery, mixed some pesto into the mayo and oh my god, it was so stupidly simple, but I'm never eating chicken salad another way.
Do you have any ways that you switch up classics and turn them into something a little less boring? I'm particularly looking for twists on burgers and roast chicken. They used to be two of my favorite foods and now I'm getting the "eh" feeling from both of them.
