Aunt Edythe's Chicken Salad

Chicken Salad is a family favorite, and it seems to appear with regularity at parties and showers.
My Great Aunt Edythe handed down the BEST chicken salad recipe you will EVER taste! 
It's so delicious in croissants, cream puffs, wraps, or served on lettuce leaves...you might just find yourself eating it directly from the bowl!

 CHICKEN SALAD

1 c. Diced celery

1 c. Shredded carrots

1/4 c. Minced sweet onion

(finely sliced scallions/green onions are a great substitution for the stronger onions)

3 c. Chicken, cooked and diced or shredded

1 tsp. Salt

1 c. Salad dressing

(such as Miracle Whip)

1 c. Whipping cream-unsweetened-whipped stiff 

(the secret ingredient)

1 can Chinese Noodles

Combine all ingredients except noodles,

then chill for several hours.

Just before serving stir in the noodles and enjoy!

I have made this adding other ingredients to change it up, such as grapes, sliced in half,  sliced almonds, dried cranberries, and cashews. I'm positive this recipe will become your favorite chicken salad too!
