  1. This is was a great chicken salad and very simple to make. Instead of using Romaine lettuce I served this on toasted onion buns. My family can't wait for me to make this again
     
  2. This chicken salad is the bomb!!! So yummy!
     
  3. Made as posted without the grapes. Had 2 leftover rotisserie breasts, so that added extra flavor. DH and I had for dinner with just enough for lunch the next day. There was a nice crunch, and the oranges added just the right sweetness ! Thanks for posting, Bev.
     
  4. This is fabulous and so easy to make! I love the Mandarin Oranges in it! Made according to the instructions and served with lettuce and croissant rolls for a light summer evening meal
     
  5. I've been making this for years and had no idea that it was from The Court of the Two Sisters! We love it! I always make it after Thanksgiving with leftover turkey. It's really delicious with turkey or chicken, so give it a try if you haven't already. We made it for a ladies' lunch at church about a million years ago & everyone loved it & it's still a real winner. I'm so glad you posted it, Bev!
