Chicken Potato Salad

What I love most about making Chicken Potato Salad is you can throw anything you fancy and find appropriate to be included in this easy to make dish that is

perfect for any occasions. With the right blend of evenly cooked potatoes and carrots plus its special ranch dressing it is a hearty and full meal on itself. For that added spice I sprinkle a dash of paprika, white pepper and onion powder. It always turns out great when I add pineapple tidbits, chopped fresh celery and boiled carrots. I did not use  mayonnaise, instead I used ready salad dressing like Clara Ole dips n' dressings (Ranch Flavor) because it adds more flavor especially when chilled. I also prefer using baby potatoes with skin on because of the fiber source and level it up by adding boiled and flaked chicken breast pieces. The mix of the fruity flavor, spices and the flavored dressing makes it an ideal picnic fare, a healthy appetizer and all time family favorite. – hir.
