This is great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. It is my go to when I have chicken from chicken soup that I need to use. A combination of crunchy and sweet ingredients that is like a party for your tastebuds.
Super easy to toss together. Just combine all your ingredients in a bowl, add your mayo and mix.
And your chicken salad is ready to go. Great served up on a piece of toasted sourdough or rye. You could pack for lunch and eat with some pretzel crisps or pita chips.
