I had a luncheon potluck to go to and this is what I brought. A very good and different chicken salad. The different ingredients went together well and the texture was nice and crunchy. I brought sandwich rolls, croissants, and nan so everyone could make their own sandwich. Well received by everyone and very little left over to take home. That is always a telling sign of how good something is. Thanks Nurse Di.

NurseDi, This is a veey good chicken salad---tasty and crunch, too. I left out the pineapple, though, and it was still Good Eatin'. I think I took it to lunch at work 'til it was gone...thanks for sharing.
