Very Frickin' Good Chicken Salad! I must admit I was almost thrown off by the mixture of some of the ingredients; However after seeing the great reviews I went for it & I'm glad I did, everyone (child to adult) loved it. I even finished off the left overs for lunch today and it was just as good. I did change the recipe slightly & this is what I did: -removed the celery and onion (not a child favorite) -used slightly less grapes -added Pecans -used Canned Chicken instead (typical for Chicken salads) -And lastly I put it all in a slightly warmed Wheat Pita Pocket Very Frickin' Good Chicken Salad!

Delicious! I made this for dinner and my spouse LOVED it. I used reduced fat mayo because a). we try to eat healthy and b). I'm not crazy about mayo anyway. This is a flavorful combination of ingredients. Will definitely make again - this one is a keeper! Light and refreshing summer meal. Thanks.

This is frickin' good! I like the dijon mustard in this -- I think that's what really makes it diffferent. Not sure why it calls for the tablespoon of milk -- it just made it a little runny, but I added some chopped pecans and let it sit in the fridge a while and it set up fine. I ate mine in a pita pocket. Yummy!
