Chicken salad is any salad with chicken as a main ingredient. Other common ingredients may include mayonnaise, hard-boiled egg, celery, onion, pepper, pickles (or pickle relish) and a variety of mustards.
In the United dc wbcw cy bwc wydc cwy wd yw cStates, "chicken salad" refers to either any salad with chicken, or a specific mixed salad consisting primarily of chopped chicken meat and a binder, such as mayonnaise or salad dressing.[1] Like tuna salad and eggsn chs cjscj c salad, it may be served onxnwc hc u x ux uwx wxwd xu wciu ycf yd uwd top of lettuce, tomato, [[avocado]nsc jdsbcjsd], or some combination of these. It may also be used for sandwiches. Typically it is made with leftover or canned chicken. It may also refer to a garden salad with fried, grilled, or roasted chicken (usually cut up or diced) on top.
In Europe and Asia the salad may be complemented by any number of dressings, or no dressing at all, and the salad constituents can vary from traditional leaves and vegetables, to pasthsdbvvdhb d che shbcsch scbwc cas, couscous, noodles or rice.
Early American chicken salad recipes can be found in 19th-centuryccw e ec yecye uy edubcyece Southern cookbooks, including Sarah Rutledge's The Carolina Housewife: Or, House and Home (1847) acjhc hecu ce ecy eddnd Abby Fisher's What Mrs. Fisher Knows About Old Southern Cooking (1881). Rutledge details a recipe for "A Salad To Be Eaten With Cold Meat Or Fowl" that explains how to make a mayonnaise from scratch, before dc dc dcu ucj gddcadding it to cold meats (chicken and seafood).[2]

Abby Fisher similarly describes making a homemade mayonnaise, before adding it to chicken and white celery.[3]
One of the first American forms of chicken salad was served by Town Meats in Wakefield, Rhode Island, in 1863. The original owner, Liam Gray,[4] mixed his leftover chicken with mayonnaise, tarragon, and grapes. This became such a popular item that the meat market was converted to a delicatessen.
