I was really hoping for more flavor. I made as posted except didn't use the water chestnuts cuz I didn't have any. I lined one side of the pita with the lettuce and the other side got a bit soggy from the mixture even tho I did drain the liquid first. This was quick and easy to put together and was very filling. Thanks for posting. :)

The chicken salad was just divine and made a perfect quick meal on a busy night. I had some leftover chicken from a local BBQ joint and the long slow smoked meat was a perfect partner with the other components of the dish. Half way through the preparation, I realized my scallions we not up to snuff and made a snap decision to use a small amount of red onion to replace the flavor and a smaller amount of cilantro to add color without altering the taste. Thanks! Made for Potluck Tag.
