Chicken Salad with Apricots, Celery, and Blue Cheese image

This summer-season chicken salad is a dance between sweet, creamy, and acidic flavors and tender, crunchy, and juicy ingredients. Make it in early summer when apricots are peaking and choose a fairly nonassertive blue cheese that won't overwhelm the mix.
