Tip

Broccoli's Better

“I use peeled chopped broccoli stalks in place of celery to add vitamins and crunch to chicken or tuna salad and green salads,” reveals field editor Betty J. of Ruston, Louisiana.

I made this chicken salad for lunch today and thought it was excellent. It was very easy to prepare. I did toast the pecans as I feel it brings out their flavor. My husband loved it as did I. We will definitely have this chicken salad again and I highly recommend it.

Lacking something. Lacking a little flavor. Maybe another spice. Sugar? More salt? Some other spice?

I left out the raisins but didn't need to add anything else - served on croissants - husband said he could eat this once a week and wanted to know if I got the recipe from my grandmother!
