I'm not a huge fan of chicken salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The tangy dressing and crunchy pecans really make this dish special.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I used Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise, and added some chopped celery and red onion for extra crunch. It was a hit!

Not bad, but not great either. I found the dressing to be a bit too tangy for my taste.

This salad is a keeper! The tangy dressing is what makes it. I used a rotisserie chicken for convenience, and it turned out great. I will definitely be making this again and again.

Easy and delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and it came out great. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the dressing was tangy and creamy. I served it on croissants and it was a hit with my family.

This chicken salad is a delightful burst of flavors! The tangy dressing perfectly complements the tender chicken and crunchy pecans. I added a bit of extra lemon zest for a brighter flavor, and it turned out amazing. Will definitely be making this ag
