I thought this salad was just okay. The flavors were a bit too strong for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less fennel and daikon.

This chicken salad is a refreshing and flavorful take on a classic. The fennel, daikon, and scallions add a nice crunch and brightness to the dish. I also loved the addition of the roasted almonds, which gave it a nice nutty flavor.
