Chop and add to the salad along with 2 minced cloves of garlic, the juice of 1 lime, and 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard. Chicken salad is a favorite dish for most people. Some styles can be used in sandwiches as well as an entree or luncheon dish. Your imagination is the only limitation on variation
