Notes
Italian Style Chicken Salad is an easy dish. It requires no cooking skills whatsoever. Since you use leftovers, any part is fine. Ideally using thighs, breast and wings gives the best result.The seasoning, mixing mayo and ketchup, in Italy is known as salsa rosa. Pink sauce. You can add some spice with tabasco or chili pepper.You may add capers to the chicken salad. Use the pickled ones. This salad is an excellent meal. It loves the company of toasted bread. Smaller portions are nice for an aperitif. The seasoning and presence of pickles excludes lighter wines. Go for a full bodied red or even cocktails.
