I like pineapple but adding pineapple to this chicken salad just made the dish too sweet for my taste. I've enjoyed the addition of green or red grapes or mandarin oranges or dried cranberries to various chicken salad recipes though. Of course if you like sweet salad you'll love this. Read More

Excellent chicken salad. I made a couple of changes/additions. I didn't use lettuce water chestnuts or lemon juice on the chicken. I did add green onions swiss cheese & red grapes. Salad is best when it sits overnight. Don't add the almonds until you are ready to serve it keeps them crunchy. Served on croissants. Read More

Wonderful! I cut down on the fat by reducing the mayonnaise and almonds to 1/2 cup (1/2 cup of almonds was plenty!!). I also reduced the salt to 1/2 tsp. I didn't chill the chicken with lemon juice for 2 hours and it was just fine. I think using red grapes next time would add a bit more color. I served the chicken salad on whole wheat pita bread. Thanks so much for the recipe! Read More

This was very good. I made it as stated and found it needed a little kick; it was a bit bland. I added a bit of curry powder and that helped. Next time I'll add some tart dried cranberries as another reviewer mentioned. It needs some other seasoning besides the salt and white pepper but I'm not sure what. But I will make it again and recommend it. Read More
