Oh interesting!
Me too-love the apples in it! I like to add some hot sauce/chipotle too similar to a sandwich they sell at a local mexican place here. There is always cooked chicken ready to go in my fridge-so much yummier than pretend sandwich meat!
Looks delicious!
Big Hugs!

I love chicken salad. I’m going to try to make this for myself tonight.
How’d it turn out?
