As a dedicated follower of Nicholas Sparks’ literary works, I must admit that his culinary creations have left me both intrigued and bewildered. As a seasoned connoisseur of chicken salad, I find it challenging to comprehend his unorthodox approach to this classic dish, especially the copious amount of Splenda he employs. However, after reflecting on my own life experiences, I find myself in a unique position to understand and even appreciate Sparks’ choice.
The internet is no safe haven for Nicholas Sparks’ chicken salad recipe.
The writer famous for penning “The Notebook,” “A Walk to Remember,” “The Last Song,” and “Dear John” (all of which were turned into movies) offered his unique take on the traditional dish that usually combines chicken, mayo, and assorted fruits and veggies.
In Sparks’ unique twist, he added jalapeños and cayenne pepper among other changes. Interestingly, he disclosed that his recipe demanded a striking ingredient – 16 packets of Splenda sweetener, which is roughly the same as 2/3 cup of sugar.
In a Sept. 24 profile by the New York Times, the romance novelist stated, “Feel free to use real sugar,” but she added, “Why add sugar when you could opt for Splenda instead?
The low-carb modification quickly sparked a wave of strong reactions on social media, ranging from intrigued to bewildered. One X (formerly Twitter) user wrote, “Some recipes really leave you questioning everything about a person.”
“As a true chicken salad connoisseur,” another wrote, “this is sociopathy.”
Instead of finding the quantity of Splenda in the recipe excessive, or “wild,” as one user put it, their main concern revolved around the practicality of using individual Splenda packets when preparing the dish.
The user pondered, “Why do you persist in using single packets of Splenda at this stage?” They suggested, “Consider buying a whole box instead! It’s like Nicholas Sparks spending unnecessary time unwrapping every single packet.
Eventually, Sparks, aged 58, learned about the online discussions regarding his recipe and shared a response video on Instagram on September 27. In this video, the author defended his contentious recipe, explaining that the sweetener compensates for his choice of sugar-free mayonnaise in the dish.
He pondered, “Why add sweetness when it’s unnecessary?” He was amazed by the extraordinary depth of taste in that chicken salad.
He added, “All those who are picking on my Splenda-sweetened chicken salad, you’re missing out.”
