Stretching Chicken Salad

I happened on this when I had some chicken salad left, but not enough to serve 3 people since my son's return home to finish his degree at a local university.

I had some fresh cauliflower in the refrigerator and a couple of boiled eggs. I chopped up the eggs and then finely chopped the cauliflower, adding a bit of ranch dressing - and voila! No one was the wiser and it tasted great! Besides the taste, it also made the chicken salad more nutritious.

I add chopped apples to tuna or chicken salad and boiled eggs. I also put chopped pimentos for color.

My favorite way to stretch chicken salad is to add a cup of white rice cooked, (that makes about 2 cups after cooking) I sometimes add some halved grapes, drained crushed pineapple and sliced water chestnuts along with the regular hardboiled eggs, chopped celery and mayonaise.
