Serve this chunky salad with pita wedges or pita chips. Purchase pita chips or make your own by spraying pita wedges with cooking spray, sprinkling them with a little shredded Parmesan cheese, and baking them at 400° for about 10 minutes.

This salad was ok not great because it didn't have much flavor other than the pepper.

I really enjoy this dish and have made it several times. I find it's best to make it head of time to let all the flavors soak together.

Very yummy! I feel like the mayo could be substituted for something dairy-based, like a little plain yogurt, but it was fine. I added oregano instead of cilantro, some freeze--dried chives, a couple splashes of lemon juice, and used celery salt because we have it. Also, didn't have radishes. Stuffed the chicken salad into the pita pockets, but ate it like a regular salad. Very yummy and light!

This chicken salad was a amazing and a refreshing change to normal chicken salad. I used less carrots than called for - subbed curry powder for the cumin (I don't like it) and added a dash of red pepper flakes for a little bite. Awesome!

This is a fantastic chicken salad. So easy to make, so easy to change to your own veggie faves. This is a keeper! Everyone in my family loves this...even the one who doesn't like mayo! Thanks!
