I've made this salad twice. The first with chicken for my meat eating friends and the second time vegan for my boyfriend. For the vegan dish, I added tempeh in the place of the chicken, used vegannaise and did not add the cheese. Instead of using the celery I added a tablespoon of relish and that worked out wonderfully for both dishes. This is a nice summer recipe!! I also added some spices such as onion powder and garlic powder just to give some extra flavor. Very tasty! I will be making this again! -
Excellent, a very different and tasty chicken salad sandwich thanks! I subbed the grapes for apples, I had not grapes and as I am unable to get Monterey Jack cheese in France, I used Emmental cheese in its place. I cut this right back to one portion and that was about 1/2 a cooked chicken breast, 40g of cheese, 1 tablespoon mayonnnaise, teaspoon sunflower seeds and 1/4 of an apple. Made for the Aussie/NZ recipe swap and thoroughly enjoyed thanks Coastal Chef! FT:-)

<p>I live on the Oregon Coast with husband and four boys. I am able to stay at home with them and hold down the fort. I have many cookbooks which I enjoy searching through for our family favorites. I recently started working as a home health care worker for seniors with disabilities (which I absolutely love), I love to quilt, crochet, bake, read, garden, watch the rain (which happens quite frequently here) and play with my kids. <br /><br />I am passionate about canning, canning, canning. I will admit I like admiring all the hard work after the jars are placed on the shelves. hehee I am all for if I can make it myself I will. Yes...I am frugal. I also love to bake. Especially homemade bread. I will continue to do so until arthritis takes over my hands. Then I will use more of the mixer for the kneading part. <br />All recipes I post are ones I've made and are our famiy favorites. <br /><br />I love pretty flowers. These flowers grace our yard every year. I could watch them all day long and be perfectly content! <br /><a href=http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/zauggrc/?action=view?t=2008flowers008.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/zauggrc/2008flowers008.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a></p>
