Chipotle Chicken Salad

 

Recently I shared my recipe for Mexican Street Corn Salad with Chipotle Dressing.  The salad was delicious, but the dressing made such a large batch, I knew I’d struggle to use it all on salads before it started to get weird.

I started thinking about the base of the dressing and knew immediately that it was destined to become chicken salad.  And it was so so good!  Savory and creamy, with just a slight kick from the chipotle peppers - delish!

I enjoyed the chicken salad on various types of crackers, but it is equally good on fresh baked bread or even as a salad topping.
