have made enough ham, I’m sure of it, to last me till Easter of next year. For that reason, I’ve chosen to offer my recipe for chicken salad on croissants.
This recipe asks for mayonnaise or miracle whip, chopped cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works wonderfully), grapes, and toasted walnuts. I like using Olive Oil Miracle Whip, which is “new” to me. Since I’ve just lately begun using it, I say “new to me.” Let’s go on to the recipe.
Components (2) 1/3 cup of finely chopped dried cherries and 1/2 cup of cubed cooked chicken
1/2 cup of half-cut green grapes and 1/3 cup of chopped celery
One-third cup chopped toasted pecans, salted and peppered to taste
1/4 to 1/3 cup Miracle Whip with Olive Oil
Six croissants divided

The chicken, cherries, celery, grapes, pecans, salt, and pepper should all be combined in a big bowl.
Blend in Miracle Whip until well combined.
Place a half-cup of the chicken mixture onto a croissant, then cover it with the other half.

To store your chicken salad on croissants properly, follow these steps:
- Separate Components: If possible, store the chicken salad mixture and croissants separately. This helps prevent the croissants from becoming soggy.
- Airtight Container: Place the chicken salad mixture in an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Wrap Croissants: For the croissants, wrap them in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep them fresh. They can be stored at room temperature for a day or two, or you can refrigerate them if you want to keep them longer.
- Reassemble Before Serving: When you’re ready to eat, simply scoop the chicken salad onto the croissants and enjoy!
