Homemade mayonnaise is easily my favorite condiment.
The first time I ever made it, I did it completely by hand – which involved whisking for so long I thought my arm would fall off. This time, I used my food processor – so much easier! Dangerously easy, because now I may find myself making it more often.
I never would have thought to use homemade mayo for a chicken salad like this, and I have to say – it’s brilliant. It adds such a tangy richness that you just can’t get from store-bought mayo.
And then there’s the chicken salad. It’s delicious. I love the crunch from the almonds and the tart, crisp green apples and all of the fresh flavor from the red onion, scallion, and parsley. It’s definitely not yo-average chicken salad, yet it’s probably just as easy. You could even use rotisserie chicken if you wanted.

{She served the salad on croissants, which I think is perfect}
I always make blender mayonnaise. The first time I used it in my potato salad was at Easter, w hen my sister asked, “Is there homemade mayonnaise in this?” That’s how much better and fresher homemade mayo is. Will never go back to the store bought stuff, which is usually made with bad oils.
Looks lovely! I haven’t bought mayo in ages. It’s just too easy and to good to do at home
