I found this chicken salad to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

This chicken salad is a bit too mayonnaise-y for my taste. I would recommend using less mayonnaise or adding some other ingredients to balance out the flavor.

I love that this chicken salad doesn't have any celery in it. I'm not a fan of celery, so this recipe is perfect for me.

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