I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds in this recipe. It turned out great!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled chicken. It's also a great make-ahead meal.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The chicken was dry and the fruit was bland.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touch by using different fruits and nuts.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I expected. The dressing was too bland.

I'm not a big fan of chicken salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The fruit adds a sweetness that balances out the savory chicken.
