This was a hit all the way around at our house. We enjoyed the zippy taste but then we love things like olives and capers and can tolerate strong flavors. Where I can see that some may not have liked the zippiness, we really did and it is something for people to consider before trying this out. If one is not afraid of flavor, I suggest they jump right in, the water's fine!!! Thank you.

I used leftovers of 2 chicken breasts that were marinated and cooked on the bbq. I omitted the red onion (due to DH). I used one small red bell pepper (I loved it in this salad). I used a little bit less of pimento stuffed olive but next time I'll try black. I didn't use caper cause it was salty enough. I ate this chicken salad in a tortillas with lettuce. Delicious. thanks Engrossed. Made for Zaar Star Game.

This is a great little recipe. I made it just as stated except used low-fat or fat-free ingredients for the dressing. I did omit the olives. I served it on a whole wheat roll with lettuce and tomato. Loved the zip from the capers and the slight heat from the dijon. Reviewed for PAC Spring 2008
