I didn't have vanilla yogurt nor a lime so I substituted lime yogurt instead and it was delicious. Read More

Was Ok. One would think with the snappy ingredients that the flavor would be more bold. Might need more ginger/lime etc. Read More

This was pretty good and a nice variation from traditional chicken salad. I did use only a 1/4 cup of yogurt and then added a 1/2 cup of Miracle Whip. The chicken was herb-roasted from the night before and this added a wonderful flavor. I would definitely make this again. I served it in lettuce wraps. Read More

Very Good! I used the dressing from another salad in Allrecipes Sesame Pasta Chicken Salad. It is a sweet and sour type dressing. I will definitely fix this again. Read More

Mixed reviews at our house: I would recommend using very high-quality yogurt as it is a predominant flavour. The combination and volume of yogurt and mayonnaise can be a bit much for some people but the snow peas and chicken go well together. Read More

Wow this probably IS the best chicken salad I've ever had! I used green onion instead and I used lime juice instead of the zest. I suggest adding a bit more lime if you like; I did and it turned out really nice! Read More

This was a hit at my house. We added radishes instead of water chestnuts due to them not being available in my area. I used plain yogurt instead of vanilla. The falavours were delicate and fresh. I ended up doubling the ginger and lime zest but it was delicious as written. Just great! Thank you Barrett for your recipe we will be using it often. Read More

This was a nice twist to the traditional chicken salad. I didn't serve it with crackers or on a sandwich. I just had it plain and tossed some crackers in it for an extra crunch. I've used water chestnuts and loved the lime zest for a kick. I do have enough for leftovers since I had half a salad. Read More
