This isn't a mind-blowing chicken salad recipe, but it's still really good and I'll definitely make it again. It's also super quick and easy and affordable (there's a lot to be said for that).
I think I will use more pepper next time, though, and maybe some dijon mustard and onion. It's nice and creamy but needs something to give it more of a kick!
