Grandma Wells’ Tuna Macaroni Salad
“For decades I called this my birthday salad. Every year for as long as I can remember that is when we served it. My mother’s recipe was enough different than mine that I can call it my own, but I can’t make this without thinking of her. Thanks, mama!” – Katrina
Uncle Wiley’s Chicken Salad
“My Uncle Wiley lives in Winter Haven Florida. We try to visit him a couple of times a year. I love to cook, so I cook while I am there, unless we are going to some of the great restaurants in the area. But he makes the best chicken salad I have ever eaten. I brought this recipe home with me. My family and friends absolutely love it, so I thought that I would share it with you.” – Debbie
Deluxe Egg Salad Sandwiches
“My husband wasn’t much of a fan of egg salad sandwiches until I made this recipe. Now he loves them!” – Nancy
BLT Chicken Salad
“A chicken salad inspired by BLTs with bacon and tomatoes in a creamy ranch mayonnaise dressing!” – Kevin
Grandma Dee’s Tuna Egg Salad
“I am submitting this recipe in honor of my grandson, Cayden. He loves his Grandma Dee but I think he loves my tuna egg salad more. It makes me proud that he loves something that I make so much. He says it’s his favorite food besides pizza. This makes a lot but you can cut the recipe. We eat this in sandwiches, on crackers, and straight out of the bowl. My fondest memories are of Cayden bringing me the bowl out of fridge and a sleeve of crackers with 2 spoons and climbing into my lap to share a snack. He’s been doing that since he was 2 and still does. Only he sits on the arm of the chair now.” – Dee
Lizzy’s Famous Pecan Chicken Salad
“Back in the early 2000’s I went out to eat with my Grandpa Klepper, and he was telling me about a chicken salad sandwich that he had fallen in love with and wanted me to try it, so I did. I thought to myself, I could so make this ten times cheaper and than what it would cost to buy just one sandwich. So I looked over the salad and determined that I had most of the ingredients in my own kitchen and I could venture out and make my own. I am so glad I did, now it’s a HUGE hit with family and friends. I even made this for my own wedding reception dinner and got rave reviews. Enjoy!” – Elizabeth
Eggcellent Tuna Salad Sandwiches
“When I taught school my co-workers and I often shared recipes. Here is one that a special friend was so gracious to give me! With the addition of cheese and relish it is surprisingly delicious. I added Tony’s, which gives it a nice kick! :)” – Misty
Deluxe Honey Pecan Chicken Salad
“Another one of those recipes that I have to keep copies of on hand because I get so many requests for it. Great on croissants or with any type of cracker.” – Debbie
Grandma Barbara’s Tuna Salad
“Our family gatherings would never be the same without a giant bowl of my Grandma’s tuna salad! My favorite part is the green olives! MMMMM” – Lindsey
Flavorfully Fantastic Chicken Salad Sandwich
“This is one of my new favorite sandwiches. My husband recently came up with the recipe, and we can’t get enough. It could also be served on top of lettuce or inside a hollowed out tomato instead of adding the diced tomato. The ingredients combine to the perfect mixture of salty, sweet, and savory. Enjoy!” – Melissa
Classic Tuna Salad
“This Classic Tuna salad is creamy and full of flavor and textures. The flaky tuna is combined with mayo, eggs, and fresh veggies.” – Debbie
