This recipe is a perfect way to use up cooked chicken. I usually cube my cooked chicken, but it also works if you use shredded chicken. Some of the ingredients, such as celery and the nuts, I marked as optional. We have nut allergies in the family and I hate raw celery but the salad still tastes great without those ingredients! Feel free to adjust the seasonings and add whatever you want like onions or avocados to make this salad your own. I serve it as a sandwich on croissants or other artisan breads and I also serve it alone on a plate. Either way, it’s wonderful.
