Summer Chicken Salad

     Here's a refreshing summer recipe for all of you landlubbers out there!  My very own take on chicken salad! 

     I like to use a rotisserie chicken from the local grocery store because it's easier than having to do it myself, plus I don't own a rotisserie so that has something to do with it as well.  I only add celery and onion to the actual salad part because sometimes simpler is better and they add both great taste and crunch to the salad!

Ingredients:

1 Rotisserie Chicken 

2-3 Ribs of Celery, diced small

1/2 Large Onion, diced small

     Dressing:

        1-1/2 Cup Mayonnaise

        1/3 Salad Oil (I use Canola)
        1 Tablespoon Sugar
        Salt and Pepper

Directions:
1) Remove all the meat from the chicken, discard the skin and fat (you can save the bones for stock)
2) Cut the chicken into small, bite-size pieces (you can also shred it if you'd like)
3) Mix the chicken, celery, and onion in a bowl
4) In a separate bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dressing
     4.1) Start with 1/2 Tablespoon each of salt and pepper
5) Whisk the dressing ingredients together, adding salt and pepper to taste
6) Combine some of the dressing with the salad, folding together with a spatula
7) Add more dressing and fold again until you reach the consistency you like
8) Let sit for at least 2 hours in the fridge, or overnight
9) Serve on bread, crackers, or just by itself!
