Wendy, I really liked this simple salad. I was intrigued by the "old church cookbook" when I was reading your comments, so I had to try it. I usually use dill pickles in my chicken salad, but the sweet pickles were good too, and I loved the pecans. I used this as a sandwich filling in those huge croissants from Sam's Club. Believe me, on a hot evening no one wants to cook around here, and this was a great recipe to try. We loved it. Thanks for posting this simple, delicious, recipe. -
This made a nice tasting chicken salad. the only thing I did different was to add more mayonnaise and chopped sweet pickles per my husband request. Thanks Wendy N. bullwinkle -
Tasty, very easy to make. It probably could have used more mayo, but I kept it like this to keep the calories low. Crunchy and healthy tasting. Even better the second day!

Hello!
I am a thirty-nine year old mom with two children.
I am originally from Xenia, Ohio where I have lived longer than anywhere, but have lived in many different places. Ohio is one of my favorite states...I love the different seasons here!
I love to remodel and decorate homes, when I have the time, and of course, I'm very passionate about cooking!!
There is a long line of great cooks in my family and I am trying to put together a cookbook for them, from recipes they've shared with me. I have no favorite cookbook...I love picking up new (even better...very old) ones from yard sales, Ebay, Amazon, or wherever I find a good book with a good deal!
Love the Food Network and my favs to watch, when I have the time, are Giada De Lorentis & Tyler Florence.
