Ingredients

- 4 stalks celery diced (about 1⅓ cups)
- 1 cup carrots chopped
- 1½ cups mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp lemon juice

- Dice up the remaining vegetables and add them and the remaining ingredients to the bowl with the chicken.
- Mix thoroughly with a large spoon and serve. Can be just a salad with crackers or just put on bread as a sandwich.
