I love chicken salad! It, like so many dishes, can be prepared in countless ways, based on the likes of those who will be enjoying it. My ideal meal for a get-together this 4th of July weekend, would be this chicken salad served on a toasted croissant accompanied by some sweet corn, roasted potatoes, and watermelon...yum!
