This chicken salad is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, so I omitted it from the recipe. It still turned out great.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I substituted Greek yogurt instead. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have chicken leftover from dinner, so this is a great way to use it up.

The chicken salad was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I was able to balance it out by adding a bit of lemon juice.
