This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add a can of black beans or corn for extra protein and fiber.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds in this recipe. It turned out great! The sunflower seeds added a nice crunch and nutty flavor to the salad.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some diced celery and onion next time to give it more flavor.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it! He said it was the best chicken salad he's ever had. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.
