Creative Ways to Use Leftover Chicken Salad

I find myself with a surplus of chicken salad (let’s not dive into the details of how it happened). My family and I have gotten a bit tired of the usual sandwiches. I’m looking for new ideas on how to use this chicken salad beyond just bread. Maybe I could incorporate it into a soup? But I’m concerned that the mayo and pickle relish might clash with the flavors. Any suggestions? Thanks!

UPDATE: I appreciate all the fantastic ideas! After going through your tips, I’m planning to try it in a salad and as wraps. I also think it would work wonderfully in a pasta salad later this week!

    Glad to hear you’re finding some creative ideas! Here are a few more suggestions for using that chicken salad:

    1. Stuffed Avocados: Hollow out some avocado halves and fill them with your chicken salad. It adds a creamy texture and makes for a healthy meal!

    2. Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps: Use large lettuce leaves as wraps. Just add a scoop of chicken salad and roll it up for a crunchy, low-carb alternative.

    3. Chicken Salad Quesadillas: Spread the chicken salad on a tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, fold, and grill until crispy. Cut into wedges for a tasty snack or meal.

    4. Chicken Salad Cucumber Boats: Cut cucumbers in half lengthwise, scoop out a bit of the center, and fill them with chicken salad for a refreshing side dish.

    5. Eggs or Deviled Eggs: Mix some chicken salad into the yolk mixture for deviled eggs or simply serve a scoop of chicken salad on top of hard-boiled eggs.

    6. Pasta Salad: As you mentioned, chicken salad can be incorporated into a pasta salad. Just mix it with your favorite pasta, some veggies, and maybe a bit more mayo or a vinaigrette to adjust the flavor.

    7. Baked Potatoes: Top a baked potato with chicken salad instead of the traditional butter or sour cream for a hearty meal.

    8. Pizza Topping: Use it as a topping on pizza or flatbreads, combining it with some veggies and cheese before baking.

    Hope these ideas help you use up your chicken salad in fun and delicious ways! Enjoy!
