I make this all the time, always delicious.

This was good but it was missing something.

LOVED this. So easy and perfect for a night when the temp is near 100 degrees - no oven, no grill, no stove. (I always have diced cooked chicken in the freezer.)

Only change I would make would be to omit the 1/2 tsp. salt if you use salted cashews. I also used Miracle Whip instead of mayo for the added "zing". Would consider serving this just on leaves of lettuce instead of buns for those less hearty appetites.

I made this for a group of men and they loved it. If I were eating it, I would want more sauce, I thought it appeared dry but they thought it was great!

Very delicious, easy and fast to make. I will defiantly be making this on the regular for my family. Try a wrap instead of a bun like I did.

This is absolutely the best chicken salad recipe ever! Made no changes at all. My husband who doesn't even like cucumbers loved this one!

I make this recipe at least once a month. I use English cucumbers and don't peel them. And since I don't eat bread or rolls, I substituted that for flour tortillas which I will eat once in a while. This recipe has been passed along to friends.

I'm giving this a "5" even though I made a few changes to it. I added some diced celery and a little honey and some Miracle Whip since I thought the dressing was a little bitter. With these changes, my family gave it a thumbs-up.

This is super good! Got a lot of compliments when I served it at a luncheon.

Sheesh! Some people make it a life's mission to comment on every recipe on the internet about salt! Give it a rest. YOU reduce the salt. ;o)

this was one of the best chicken salad ever made. Great for all sesons. I take it to friends houses and always come home with an empty bowl.

Cut back on the salt and this is great.

I hated mayo, but loved Miracle Whip when I was growing up. Definitely give it a try. It's more like a dressing than like mayo. I think ranch dressing would be overpowering in this recipe.

Does he like miracle whip?  That adds a nice flavor in place of mayo.

Do you think it would work with ranch dressing? My hubby is one of those who doesn't do mayo.
