MINDY'S CHICKEN SALAD



Mindy's Chicken Salad image

I brought along this sweet-and-savory Chicken Salad on a camping trip and my brother-in-law whined that he hated chicken salad. Needless to say, he gobbled up the sandwiches without complaint! It makes for a beautiful luncheon or shower dish, particularly served with petite rolls or over lettuce leaves and topped with ripe avocado. By the way....Mindy's my hairdresser; her husband loves to make this salad.
