"I got this chicken salad recipe from Abby, a dear friend of mine, several years ago. It's delicious and elegant enough for a ladies' luncheon, shower, or brunch. You can add a diced apple, or substitute cashews or almonds for a variation of the basic recipe. This recipe doubles, triples etc. well and the chicken salad alone is great on croissants or bread with lettuce, tomato slices, sprouts or thinly sliced avocado.Cook time is the chilling time."
