My in-laws are coming for lunch on Saturday and I want to make chicken salad. I usually put grapes or cubed apples in it, but am wondering what else I can put in chicken salad. By the way, raw onions of any kind are out (Mother-in-law doesn't like), green peppers are out (Father-in-law doesn't like). They also don't like any "wierd" flavors, so curried chicken salad is out. They also don't like anything hot/spicy, including black pepper. HELP!!!

I don't like to put too many things in my chicken salad, just a couple - else it just takes away from the flavour of the chicken. So basil leaves and sundried tomatoes, or olives and feta cheese, or sliced eggs and bacon, or shell pasta and basil pesto.... plus either grapes, apple or mango slices.
Mmmm i'm hungry now!!

I make a pretty basic chicken salad with mayo, ranch dressing, finely chopped celery, chopped green apples, and a dash of salt and pepper that everyone seems to love.

If I were you, I would just do a search for "chicken salad recipe" in any of the search engines and it will bring you to several different sites so that you can choose the best recipe for your in-laws.

I put white onions, celery, sweet pickle relish, and miracle whip. I also boil the chicken in chicken boullion cubes (2) I also put a little salt in it. You can save the chicken stock-freeze it.

How about a mixture of chicken, apples, raisins and walnuts, and instead of 100% mayo for the dressing, mix mayo and sour cream?

Well, I usually take chicken and mayo (obviously!), cubed grapes, boiled eggs, ketchup and mustard. But, here's a link to a bunch of recipes:
