As a filling for sandwiches or an ingredient in other salads, chicken salad is an adequate way to use leftover chicken. In its simple form, diced or shredded chicken (dark or white meat, or a combination of both), is mixed with vegetables (diced onions and celery are frequently used), and all is moistened with a dressing. The dressing is often based on mayonnaise and/or mustard. Other seasonings (which can include curry powder, dill pickles, and in some cases apples and/or raisins) are added to taste.
Chicken Salad is thought to have been first served by Town Meats in Wakefield, Rhode Island in 1863. The original owner, Liam Gray, mixed his leftover chicken with mayonnaise, tarragon, and grapes. This became such a popular item that the meat market was converted to a deli which still stands to this day.
