CHICKEN SALAD

Chicken Salad is another one of those things that people seem very opinionated about.  Some like fruit or nuts mixed in  and some even add chopped onion and pickles.   Others wouldn’t consider eating it if it had any of these additions.   I’m pretty sure family feuds have started over whether to use only white meat or a mixture of light and dark.  Many times I’ve heard proper ladies raise their voices as they described how large or small someone chopped the chicken they put in their chicken salad!  Anyway,   I  hope  you will enjoy my version- which I would  be happy to defend!
