This recipe was a disaster. The chicken salad was dry and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The chicken salad was good, but I would have liked it better if it had more vegetables. I added some chopped celery and carrots and it was much better.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken salad was too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

This was a great recipe. I used less mayonnaise than the recipe called for, but it was still delicious.
