Chicken and Olive Salad

Chicken and Olive Salad

4 cups diced chicken
3 stalks diced celery
1/3 cup diced bell pepper
1 cup Italian olive salad

Mix gently and serve on lettuce as a salad or as a sandwich in a crunchy roll.

Olive salad is a New Orleans favorite.  A similar blend, giardiniera, hotter and with less olive flavor, is eaten in Chicago. Either would be fine, as would some third thing that is available wherever you live.
