mmm loved it, a unique chicken salad; a very pleasant combination of flavours and soo refreshing! I needed something I could put together in the morning to finish at supper time, this was lovely after marinating all day, love the freshness of the strawberries and the almond crunch. The mint really made it fresh and the aroma was wonderful! Thanks for posting I will be making it again.

I was searching for something different to make for lunch and I decided to give this one a try. I liked it quite well. The mint lended a cool, fresh, unique flavor to the salad. I used toasted pecans instead of almonds and liked the crunchy texture. Never had strawberries in chicken salad before but it tasted good to me. I'd make this one again. Thanks Nurse Di.
