“Chicken salad can have many variations. I don’t know if anybody else uses pineapple in their chicken salad, but I think it takes it from boring to ‘Oh, that’s interesting, and good.’ Some people like to add chopped nuts (i.e. chopped almonds or walnuts), some people even add a few raisins to the mix. Just use your imagination to personalize to suit your taste buds.” – Calla Ferre
