Hurley House Lemon Basil Chicken Salad

August 24, 2021 · In: Main Dish, Recipes

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Hurley House has been making and serving our signature Lemon Basil Chicken Salad for three years, and today I am thrilled to share the recipe with you!

If I have heard it once, I have heard it one hundred times. β€œI didn’t like chicken salad until I tried this one!” Truly, this is the chicken salad for people who think they don’t like chicken salad. Fresh chicken, a light dressing, and pops of green peas make this chicken salad stand out.

I think a lack of gloppiness (is that a word?) makes Lemon Basil Chicken Salad widely accepted, even among chicken salad haters. People who dislike chicken salad tend to be turned off by gobs of mayo-heavy sauce, which I can appreciate.

Lemon Basil Chicken Salad is not mayo-heavy. It is very fresh, very light, and packed with a lot of lemony goodness that redeems any bad past experiences with over-sauced chicken salad.

As a final note, if you’re taking a meal to someone, why not try a big container of Lemon Basil Chicken Salad, a loaf of Banana Bread, and fresh fruit. Doesn’t that sound delicious?

I took a spring break field trip to Dallas with my friend Nicole, and our sole purpose was to eat lunch at Loro.

Did we order half the menu for only the two of us? We did. 

Was every bite totally worth it? Absolutely.

In an effort to get inspired to add a touch of spring to my home, I did an internet deep-dive to create what I think is a beautiful collection of inspiring images designed to spark my inner home-decor maven.​​​​​​​​

The result is a game-plan for small ways I am planning on fluffing my home for spring without redecorating every room.​​​​​​​​

No, we didn’t travel with the dog. Yes, we did travel halfway with toddlers. Yes, we broke down on the side of the highway and rode in a tow truck. Apart from that drama, it was lots of food, coffee, band, shopping, hanging, filling out Oscar ballots, and watching Lillian master the hoverboard.
