This salad is very good and refreshing. My husband and I loved it. I used rotisserie chicken and toasted the almonds.

This was very good and quite different than other chicken salads. It did taste like it was missing something; and now that I am checking the recipe again, I forgot to add the poppy seeds, salt and pepper!
