My first memory of chicken salad

My first memory of chicken salad is making the dish with my Grandmother. I remember her teaching me how to make chicken salad from leftovers from the night before. She used a special curved knife cutting tool that slid back and forth to cut the chicken into small pieces. We then cut up pieces of celery and onion to add to the chicken. We mixed all the ingredients with some light mayonnaise and it was ready to go. It may not seem like much of a memory, but every time I see chicken salad, I think of this special moment with my Grandmother. Now I use this recipe and will perhaps have a similar experience with a grandchild one day.
