It sounds good but would take out the onions and add apples chunks, grapes, and cashews.

Good recipe for using rotisserie or leftover chicken. I add some fresh lemon thyme and omit the salt!.

Honestly, can’t anyone make anything nowadays, without adding cheese & bacon into it? I guess that bloggers now have to keep up with the newer unhealthier way of preparing food, in order to appeal to their readers. I have nothing against this terrific blog, but I’m just sayin’……

Loved this recipe but I used bell pepper instead of celery it really brought out flavors in the salad
