This recipe was given to me by my cousin Judy. It was hand written by her mother on and index card. This was her Chicken Salad of choice to serve when she was catering. I made this twice now with some left over grilled chicken and I am hooked on the lemony flavor. Read more The toasted almonds give it a nice textur variation. It comes off much more citrisy than mayonnaisy. < is that a word?.....;-)~ Hope you like it. . See less
