As promised, I am sharing Cindy’s Famous Chicken Salad Recipe with you. This delicious, simple to make recipe was the star of the Steeplechase Tailgate Party this year!
Why is it famous?
Because once someone gets mouth full of this creamy chicken salad bursting with sweet grapes and salty cheese, their eyes light up! They *need* to know what’s in it!
That’s the best part. There’s only five ingredients! This post contains some affiliate links. Click here to read my full disclosure policy.
Brianna’s Home Style Poppy Seed Dressing is the secret ingredient that gives the chicken salad it’s sweet and tangy flavor.
Do not try substituting this brand with another. It won’t taste the same!
Yes, it is awesome on fresh South Carolina peaches. 😉
Yes, there really is a Cindy. She is a sassy girl from Tennessee who I love dearly. It makes my day to call her up to listen twangy accent tell me of her newest favorite book and hash over the last episode of Game of Thrones. {John Snow… swoon!}
For every Weekend Girl’s Getaway at the beach, Cindy would bring a huge bowl of her chicken salad for us to snack on.
Darn, I miss that girl. Guess I’ll have to whip up some more chicken salad to sooth my heartache. 😉
Do you have a dish that reminds you of a great friend? If so, please share it with me. I’d love to hear your best friend food story!
Do you have a favorite chicken salad recipe? Does it include grapes or another fruit? I’m always looking for a new recipe to try!
Your comments totally make my day! They give me huge motivation to
keep creating and having fun with my 3 Little Greenwoods!
I link up with these fun parties!
This looks amazing! I’ve pinned and shared it! 🙂
Thanks for joining the Link Up this week!
Oh that seriously looks to die for good!!
Love chicken with grapes (my hubby doesn’t). I’ve never used this brand of dressing before, but I’m always willing to try something new. Thanks for sharing. Pinned
This sounds delicious! I’m going to look for that dressing and try it!
I hope you can find it! My husband teases me about being so cheap and buying store brands for almost everything but not this. Sometimes the brand does make the difference. Thanks so much for following along!
YAY! The recipe for the most amazing looking chicken salad ever! I am so glad I get to try this! Thanks! 😀
It is so good! I just made myself some more for lunch this week. 😉

I love chicken salad so I clicked on it and this does sound good.. I love Poppyseed dressing. Thanks for sharing on the Thursday Blog Hop!!
If you love poppyseed dressing then you *have* to try this Chicken Salad Recipe! It is so yummy. Promise!
OMG this looks amazing. I love chicken salad so I will be making this real soon. I would love for you to share this on my Friday T.G.I.F. linky party 🙂
Thanks for the sweet comment and for the invite to your party! Just linked up!
Thanks for sharing on my T.G.I.F. linky party 🙂 Have a great day!
Thanks Wendy!
I made one similarly, but I use some rice to make it feed more. Looks tasty, Ithink I’ll share it. 🙂
Oh I bet wild rice would be wonderful in this chicken salad! Thanks so much for the suggestion!
I am going to look for this dressing. Also, I think I might add some bacon. Because a little bacon never hurt anything…
Oh! Bacon always makes everything better! Thanks so much for stopping by! 😉
update! I just found the dressing on Amazon in 6 packs of bottles for $29 and some change with free shipping. That seems like a good deal, and would be great for people who cannot find it locally. HTH!!!
I never thought to search Amazon for Brianna’s dressing. Great tip and great deal for that yummy stuff!
Your chicken salad looks sooo delicious! And I have had that dressing before and it’s yummy!!
Thanks so much Ashley for sharing your recipe with us at Project Inspire{d}!
