I love this chicken salad. It’s my own recreation of a deli chicken salad I used to have when I was growing up. This place was a hole in the wall, nothing glamourous. It was the first time I’d seen anyone put anything other than onion and celery into chicken salad though. The taste stuck with me. This works great with leftover chicken.
