  1. Very tasty. I used chicken I had in the freezer, chopped it quite fine in the food processor, followed by the apples and celery (which,by the way did a nice job of pre-cleaning the machine). Then added the raisins. I added some spices to the light mayo before mixing it all together: turmeric, anise seeds, salt and pepper. I can imagine adding chopped pecans too. Nice recipe which uses pantry staples. The texture as I made it, was fine enough and cohesive enough to make a great sandwich filling.
     
  2. I haven't tried this yet, I just wanted to note that my copy of this recipe says that you could also use craisins instead of raisins which sounds nice.
     
  3. This was made with smoked turkey and served with crisp lettuce on a flour tortilla. The dressing was a combination of the plain yogurt and light mayo.
