Chicken salad, whether in a sandwich or not, is one of my great pleasures. I usually add whatever I can find in the fridge and pantry and add some of my very tasty cajun sauce but these delicious sounding recipes have given me some great ideas. Cranberries, grapes, cilantro and lime.Yummm!! Thank you for these great variations!

peachy chicken salad sounds sweet and delicious! (minus the frozen peas that is...). I think dried cranberries would also work as a sub for the grapes, if I don't have grapes on hand.

With all due respect, perhaps you should stick to tasty recipes and stop dispensing medical advice ala "studies have shown that MSG does not have any adverse physical reactions, as people once believed." At least one internist, two ENT's, one neurosurgeon and one neurologist disagree with you that I know of as they gave me that very directive within the past 60 days to combat an issue I am having.

The recipe is great, but I could get a printed recipe, I wonder why?
