This was yummy ~ just the right amount of sweet with the fruit and crunch with the celery. Definitely a chicken salad that you could serve to company or for an easy weeknight supper. I served it to my kids in a bowl with a bagel on the side and I put it over some lettuce for myself. My 11 yo paid the highest compliment when she said, "Mom, I would take this for lunch." LOL. Thanks for posting!
