Bland chicken salad is just a bummer, but it needn't be because it's one of those recipes that you 'taste as you go.' This offers the opportunity for you to put your personal spin on the final product, perking it up so that it's not only flavorful, but also super eye appealing. If you are the savory sort who does not fancy anything sweet or nutty mixed into your chicken salad, consider adding the following in moderation, tasting as you go. Finely chopped red onion, fresh parsley, fresh rosemary, tarragon, or other fresh chopped herbs, thinly sliced green onions, a dollop of sour cream, celery seed or poppy seed, finely chopped dill pickle, or a scant amount of Dijon mustard. If you are the sweet and nutty sort who desires a hint of sunshine in your chicken salad, consider adding these ingredients in moderation, and tasting as you go. Honey-flavored Greek yogurt, halved seedless grapes, tiny fresh grapes such as Zante/Corinth grapes, golden raisins, sweet pickle relish, chopped apple, diced fresh pear, curry powder, any type of toasted nuts or seeds, and any type of sugar-coated nut such as a praline pecan or honey roasted almond. Today, this recipe is offering a bit of both!
