  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the salad.
  • If you don't have any cooked chicken, you can easily make some by boiling or baking chicken breasts. Just be sure to shred or chop the chicken into small pieces before adding it to the salad.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise and sour cream to your liking. If you want a lighter salad, you can use less of these ingredients. If you want a richer salad, you can use more.
  • Be sure to chop the celery and onion very finely. This will help them to blend in with the other ingredients and not overpower the flavor of the salad.
  • If you don't have any mandarin oranges, you can use canned mandarin oranges instead. Just be sure to drain them well before adding them to the salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later. It will keep for up to 3 days.
