Chicken Salad Cold Plate
In my hometown of Estill County, Kentucky, one of my favorite springtime specials the restaurants would have was a “Cold Plate.” You could choose chicken salad or pimento cheese and it would come with crackers, veggies, fruit, ranch, and fruit dip. My go-to chicken salad is grape/pecan based, but this is another springy hit!
