Chicken Salad

GinGin :-)'s Note:

This is a recipe I received from a friend's mom and I tweaked it just a little. A very simple recipe for parties, goes great on croissants. I made mine with plain white bread cut into Christmas tree shapes. The spices can be altered to suit your own tastes.

Good! After reading Paula's review, I just added enough mayo to keep it moist, but followed the recipe other than that. Simple, moist, and tasty. Thanks GinGin for sharing. Made for PAC Spring 2009.

This was made last night and enjoyed today at lunch. The amount of mayo was greatly reduced. Just enough mayo was used to moisten the ingredients. Served on a bed of lettuce leaves with flat bread. Made for *PAC Spring 2008*
