4 green onions, sliced (white and green parts)
2 cups cubed cooked chicken

Steps:

To make the dressing: whisk the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Cover and refrigerate several hours to let the flavors blend.
If the salad seems dry, add a little more dressing or mayonnaise before serving.
