I wish I could give this 50 stars! Eating it made me feel so much better after a bad day and DBF rated it a "keeper", a status that has only been granted to a handful or so of dishes. I only added olives to his salad because I don't care for them, and I completely eliminated the cilantro for the same reason. I left out the sour cream because I had run out, but I added more mayo to compensate for the creaminess. Served the chicken mixture over lettuce, sprinkled it with a little cheese and some crushed tortilla chips. This was truly a wonderful salad that I will be coming back to time and time again!
