Why is Chicken Salad So Popular

We have a few theories as to why chicken salad is so popular. The first being the most obvious…  how easy it is to make. There are so many types of chicken you can use-  canned, rotisserie, legs, breasts etc.  Leftovers kicked off the craze. Pinterest helped people realize that many ingredients can be tossed into your chicken and mayo mixture.

Chicken salad will take on the flavors of everything you mix into it, making it fun to experiment with so popular.
