Another Taste of Home recipe...I think I'm going to use chicken instead of turkey. A pre-made rotisserie chicken from the grocery store is easy to use in recipes like this.

  • For a healthier version of the salad, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. You can also use whole-wheat bread or a lettuce wrap instead of white bread.
  • To add a bit of crunch to the salad, add some chopped walnuts or almonds.
  • For a more flavorful dressing, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or a dash of cayenne pepper.
