I tried chicken salad from Costco, Trader Joe's, Wegmans, and Whole Foods. There's only one I'd buy again.

After trying four different options, I found the best chicken salad to buy at the grocery store.

• I tried chicken salad from Costco, Trader Joe's, Wegmans, and Whole Foods.
• The Wegmans option was pretty expensive and didn't have a ton of flavor.
• However, I enjoyed the Whole Foods chicken salad, which was scooped fresh at the deli counter.

I never enjoyed chicken salad until I started working at a deli in my early 20s. It quickly became a lunch staple for me...
