This sounds so terrific, I love the idea of lots of celery. I always add extra to my tuna salad, too. I love your writing, by the way.

Yes!!! This is exactly how I make my chicken salad… and tuna salad too. Lots and lots and lots of celery and green onions! Thank you for validating my methods. Now I have to try adding mustard to the mix. Crunch, crunch, crunch!

This makes me remember Laurie Colwin’s lovely writing about chicken salad. Thank you for writing.

I love the simplicity of this recipe — but alas, I’m a celery hater. Any suggestions on a similar crunchy veg, without the celery flavor, to substitute?

This was so very good – thanks for the idea to load up on celery. I am incredibly suspicious of mayo and used mostly greek yogurt as the dressing.

We’re about to find out who grew up with gribenes and who didn’t.

Any make-ahead tips? IE – When to add the celery and dressing etc if you prepare all components the night before? Thank you!

In reply to Sandra Dykes. I love celery leaves, I horde them, DH doesn't get any in his salad.
