Doggone Good Chicken Salad & Deviled Eggs
Well of course any Southern picnic needs chicken salad — and deviled eggs! Adjust size of pieces depending on your pet, and if making for your kitties, be sure to finely chop/mince the ingredients to avoid any choking hazard. This can easily be scaled up to larger portions for bigger dogs.

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
-
1 boiled egg, diced

½ cup diced celery with tops

Minced parsley and/or cilantro

½ cup plain yogurt

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Dash garlic powder (no onion!)

Combine chicken salad ingredients. Toss with dressing and serve.

Optional ingredients your dog may love are sweet bell pepper, cheese, blueberries and grated apples.
