Chicken Salad

One of the most traditional and emblematic dishes of Venezuelan Christmas. This delicious and refreshing accompaniment is served on almost every table during the Christmas festivities and is a fundamental part of Christmas Eve dinner along with other dishes such as hallaca, ham bread and pernil. Chicken salad is a recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation, and each family has its own version, although it always maintains certain key ingredients.

What really sets this salad apart is its creaminess. Everything is tossed together with a generous amount of mayonnaise, which gives it a smooth, creamy texture.

Chicken salad is not only a tasty dish, but it also has a special meaning in Christmas celebrations. It is served cold, making it a refreshing and light option to accompany the heavier dishes of Venezuelan Christmas, such as hallacas and pernil. Its mix of sweet and savory ingredients, along with its creamy texture, makes it irresistibly delicious and perfect to share with the family.

It is a dish full of tradition and flavor, which reflects the warmth and joy of Christmas in Venezuela, and which is enjoyed with love every year on the tables of Venezuelans, celebrating family reunions and the festivities of the season.
