Basic chicken salad is a summer staple. For mushroom lovers, here’s a wild twist: Add meaty slices of cooked Chicken Mushroom to your favorite chicken salad recipe. Experienced mushroom hunters know the texture and flavor of both “chickens” are excellent matches. For this recipe, Chef Fontana simmers this colorful mushroom in chicken stock, then mixes strips of the savory woodland prize into a medley of celery, walnuts and grapes with equal portions of yogurt and mayonnaise. Season it to taste.
“If you’ve got a personal favorite chicken salad recipe in your family,” Fontana encourages, “go for it!”
