You are right, Dorothy. This was a perfect take to work lunch salad. Simple yet flavor-filled ingredients. I made enough to serve 6 because I needed to use up some left-over chicken. My husband and I will eat on it the rest of the week. I sprinkled some sunflower seeds on top which added to the crunch. Thanks for another great recipe. -
I did as you suggested and packed this as my lunch. This is a great salad. I sprinkled with toasted walnuts but just about any nut would work. Nice and light. Excellent flavor. Thanks Dorothy. -
Another winner from Derf. We really enjoyed this tasty salad. I so enjoyed this recipe that I have made it twice already. It's quick and easy to make and tastes amazing. So much flavor and texture. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe that is going into my keeper box. With recipes like this, I am really starting to enjoy salads, thank you so much. -
so yummy. i mixed up the apple and celery amounts, omitted the raisins, and used a light honey mustard dressing...next time i might try using the canned chicken to make this, and i'm cutting back on the amount of salad dressing. i ate it as a sanwich for lunch...so good -
This salad was AMAZING! I made it for lunch yesterday (with a few modifications, in order to fit what I have on hand) and it was *the best* salad I've ever eaten. Good enough to be from a restaurant. :D<br/>A nice change from having deli meat sandwiches every day. And it filled me up for a good 3 hours. :)

Thank you Derf for a nice healthy twist to one of my fav foods, chicken salad! It's versitile, healthy, tasty, and uses ingredients that I typically have on-hand. I used dried cranberries instead of raisins, yogurt, and will use either walnuts or pecans next time.

Very good recipe, very easy to make. I have actually made it twice, once exactly as said, the 2nd time, I used plain yogurt instead of italian dressing. I added a little bit of coriander seed, cumin, and cayenne pepper to it. Taste great both times. Thank you very much for this recipe. It'll be my lunch stable for a while.
