BRIDAL/BABY SHOWER TUNA/CHICKEN SALAD

Bridal/Baby Shower Tuna/Chicken Salad image

When I got engaged, at my bridal shower we served this salad and everyone loved it. I then started making it for my friend's bridal showers. It is a great hit and has a wonderful taste. Definately different from the usual salads. I usually cut up all the vegetables the night before so on the day of the party all I have to do is mix it up. Perfect for a crowd.

This was served at all wedding receptions, bridal showers, baby showers etc. at my mother's house. It is a great sandwich with cream cheese as its base and lots of grated vegetables. No one was allowed to get married without these at the wedding. From the big plastic bag of my mother's recipes.

My friend's mom made this for a wedding shower for ME! Still blissfully married after 23 years, I thought I would share this recipe. We love it still, on a warm afternoon with iced tea and sometimes on a hot evening with a toasty Chardonnay.

CHICKEN TUNA SALAD

Chicken Tuna Salad image

Here's a recipe I whipped up to jazz up the usual tuna or chicken salad. Instead of the usual 'tuna' I actually use a can of chunk solid white albacore. The resulting salad can be used in a wrap, on bread, on lettice leaves, and various other ways! Very tasty!
