I've made this chicken salad several times and it's always a hit. The dressing is creamy and flavorful, and the chicken is always tender and moist. I also like that it's a healthier option than traditional chicken salad.

This chicken salad is amazing! Easy to make and packed with flavor. Added some dried cranberries for a bit of tartness and it was perfect. Will definitely be making this again.
