No two chicken salad recipes are alike. Sunshine Chicken Salad, for example, is bursting with fruity flavor. Grapes and pineapple are added to the chicken, and everything is coated in a sweet and creamy dressing that makes the whole thing come together. You can use plain yogurt, but pineapple or pina colada yogurt adds a little more sunshine. This refreshing salad makes a terrific lunch and would be a nice addition to a spring or summer potluck. If you want some crunch, add celery and water chestnuts.
