Chicken or Tuna Salad

Chicken or Tuna salad is quick, easy and filling. I've always parted ways with my gran on the issue of mayonnaise. Miracle Whip was always her first choice, but my preference has always been Kraft Mayo. She used both but I've never even purchased Miracle Whip, it's too sweet for me (ironic, I know). I love mayo. Choose your poison and half or third the recipe for less than 3 or 4 people. The recipe should be fresh for up to a week or more.

Chicken or Tuna Salad

Cooked, de-boned and chopped chicken, or, canned or cooked tuna fish
(I boil 4 or 5 chicken breast, or, two large cans of tuna)
Mayo to taste (approx 1/2 to 2/3 cups)
Salad pickles to taste (approx 1/2 cup)
Diced Celery to taste (approx 3 0r 4 stalks)
Salt and Pepper to taste (approx less than a teaspoon of each)

Drain tuna and salad pickles (drain chicken if using canned)
Mix, by hand, with mayo, celery, salt and pepper
That's it, you're done. Keep refrigerated.

You can add boiled eggs, grapes, nuts, etc. to liven it up, but my crew likes it plain.
