I really liked this light, sweet, colorful, chicken salad. It had a nice bite from the red onion but, it really was a bit too sweet for my taste. I added some fresh chopped cilantro and some salt and pepper. I am going to use this recipe again, maybe trying a splash of red wine vinegar and cutting back on the honey. I really enjoyed this recipe! Thanks for sharing !
