Hamptons Deli -Style Chicken Salad Spread
Bright, creamy, and totally shareable, this chicken salad spread takes tender poached chicken and mixes it with crisp celery, sweet apple, and just the right touch of mayo. Smooth yet textured, it’s perfect on crackers, artisan bread, or alongside fresh veggies and grapes for a casual, feel-good sharing board that’s as easy to make as it is delicious.
