Well, I've never eaten anything from beyond the grave, but I think I'm going to have to give this recipe a try. Very Happy

You must know how much I like chicken. Cluck. Cluck. And celery seed. I wonder how in the world this recipe got its name. Do you know?

I made your chicken salad, today, icecoffee, and I want you to know that it's the best chicken salad I've ever made. I'm going to use this recipe from now on. Thank you so much for taking the time to share it with us!

I did substitute Splenda in place of the sugar, and I added slivered almonds, as the recipe suggested. I think I ate too much, though, because I am stuffed.

Thanks again, for sharing your recipe with us. It's a "keeper" at my house.

Enjoyed it? I loved it!! I think I ate it almost every day this week. I kept thinking I'd get tired of it, but nope. That just didn't happen. In fact, I wish I had some with me here at work, right now.

That's right! Your chicken salad, wrapped up in a lettuce leaf. I tell ya. This stuff is addictive. It's like I cannot stop.

I spent a good part of Saturday and yesterday updating our recipe index. It's amazing how many wonderful recipes I missed adding, when they were first posted. My apologies to anyone who wondered why their recipe wasn't included in the index. I'll just plead Alzeimers, and we'll leave it at that.

Anyway, while I was updating the index, I ran across this recipe and figured I'd give it a bump

for those who may not have seen it, first time around. I love this stuff and just made another big batch yesterday afternoon. Umm ummm ummm. That's what I'm having for lunch.
