I made this chicken salad for a picnic and it was a disaster! The chicken salad was too runny and didn't hold its shape. I had to throw it away.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken salad turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This chicken salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning, maybe some salt and pepper or a squeeze of lemon juice.
