Serve the chicken salad on croissants, dinner rolls, hoagie buns, or with crackers. It’s also delicious on a bed of lettuce with tomato.
If you haven’t used salad supreme seasoning before, look for it in the spice aisle. It typically combines Romano cheese, salt, paprika, black pepper, garlic, sesame seeds, and other spices. It’s an excellent way to boost flavor in Miracle Whip or mayonnaise-based salads—try it in pasta salads or seafood salad as well.
This chicken salad is versatile. It’s wonderful on croissants, rolls, or crackers, and you can easily adapt it to taste. Consider adding chopped apple, dried cranberries, cooked bacon, or walnuts for variation. Serve with lettuce and tomato for a lighter option, and adjust ingredients to suit your family’s preferences.
