Loved it! Marinating the boiled chicken is a great tip for adding flavor to the chicken salad. I used Best Foods and threw in some chopped walnuts. Made delicious sandwiches. Thanks Sharon! -
This was awesome! The flavors blend together so beautifully! Perfection! I've been looking for a good chicken salad recipe for YEARS, and this one is my new favorite! I liked it with the Miracle Whip, but my preference is usually Hellman's mayo, so next time, I'm going to try it with the mayo...Meantime, this has a WONDERFUL dressing with it -- and I think the red wine vinegar gave it the very best flavor and "zip" that I wanted! Thanks, Sharon, for sharing! This is a keeper in my house!
