“Love this chicken salad. It’s become my go to because it’s flavorful, but has simple ingredients and steps. I like to make it ahead of time. I always add a little extra lemon juice and pepper because I’m weird, but this recipe is delicious as is! Easily adapta” — a cook, 5.0★
“I needed to use up leftover rotisserie chicken and adapted this for the ingredients I had available. I used a gala apple instead of grapes, some white onion instead of green, and 2 tsp dried parsley instead of fresh. So yummy I can't stop eating it 😍 And my 4 ” — a cook, 5.0★
