I just got this recipe from Cook's Country magazine. A cook named Dawn from San Diego, California submitted it to the magazine and won first place in a chicken salad contest. We loved it so much, I thought I'd share it right away. You can find the pickled jalapeños in a can in the Mexican/ethnic section at the supermarket. You can also use this recipe for tuna. I served this over tostadas (crispy fried tortillas).

SERVES 6 -8 , 5 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime juice
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1/2 medium celery rib, finely chopped
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup sliced pickled jalapeno chili, finely chopped
salt and pepper

Directions

1
Mix mayonnaise and lime juice in a small bowl until combined.
2
Toss chicken, celery, onion, bell pepper, cilantro, and jalapeños in a large bowl.
3
Add the mayonnaise mixture and toss until evenly coated.
4
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5
Serve or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

This was pretty good! I used 4 fresh jalapenos from our garden instead of pickled jalapenos. I wish an amount of salt to start with had been listed though...

My husband loves chicken salad sandwiches, so I decided to try this recipe today. He was excited about the addition of jalapenos, and states that it is the best chicken salad he's ever tasted. I will certainly make this again. Thanks for posting!

Wonderful, and different from the usual chicken salads--a nice, fresh departure from the "same old". Except for halving it, I followed the recipe as written. Loved the addition of jalapenos. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This is wonderful change from traditional chicken salad! I didn't use celery or red pepper due to family tastes and used yellow onion. This was great!! Thanks for sharing!
