Caribbean Style Chicken Salad

Submitted by Catfish Charlie

"I made this recipe to use up some leftover grilled chicken. The chicken was grilled using a Caribbean Jerk marinade, so I wanted to enhance that characteristic. This is the recipe I ended up creating, the kids loved it and so did I. "Cooking" time is actually chilling time."
