I always love a good chicken salad and this is my favorite one to make for these little carrot shape rolls for Easter.  The chicken salad calls for hardboiled eggs making it a perfect dish to use up leftover hardboiled eggs from Easter. 

This chicken salad is full of flavor and a true make ahead dish.  The longer this sits the better and better it gets.  This can definitely be made the day before, just don’t stuff them into the rolls until right before serving.

Ingredients used

• Cooked, shredded chicken- You can boil chicken or use a rotisserie chicken or any leftover chicken you have on hand. 
• Red onion-  I like to use red onion for this as it is more mild and the flavor is really great.  You can use scallions for a more subtle onion flavor. 
• Celery-  This adds a lot of crunch to this salad. 
• Hardboiled eggs-  These add such great flavor to the chicken salad.
• Mayonnaise-  Use a good quality mayo that you like. 
• Garlic salt-  Garlic salt adds a great flavor and salt to the salad. 
• Pepper-  Just a bit for flavor. 
• Crescent rolls-  You need 2 eight count cans to make the carrot rolls. 
• Parsley-  This makes the carrot tops.
