I didn't measure the ingredients. I think with salad it isn't necessary unless you are making the dressing. I used chicken leftovers instead of canned chicken - this salad was for a light dinner. We don't have cucumber dressing, so I added cucumber slices instead and ranch dressing. My husband doesn't like ranch so I gave him raspberry vinagrette which he also didn't like..... so at the end he liked using balsamic vinegar/olive oil type of dressing. Recipe was easy and I'd make it again.

I used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and shredded it. I also used Ranch dressing instead of Cucumber because I had it on hand... I think next time I'll used Cucumber and it'll probably receive 5 stars from me. I love the pecans and grapes. YUM!

Great taste, but I haven't used the oranges. Have used raisins when out of grapes. Use my own boiled chicken. A sprinkling of dried Tarragon and onion powder while boiling, really adds to the flavor of the dish, too.

This is good, but I would recommend using roasted and salted pecans and adding some pepper. I also couldn't find the creamy cucumber dressing, so I used cucumber ranch instead. I served on potato chive crusty bread. Yum!

I LOVE this recipe, and my best friend asks me to make it everytime they have a BBQ. So easy to whip together, and is awesome on crackers, bread, ANYTHING!

Agree with Julie - this is not a very tasty version of a salad (store-bought dressing and all ingredients).

I didn't care for this chicken salad. I took one bite with the oranges and immediately removed them. They were just too over-powering for this salad. After that, it still was not that good. The flavor just wasn't there.

This is great, I've made it several times and I e-mailed it to my mom and she loves it too ! I'm looking for a way to make low calorie creamy cucumber salad dressing so I can make it low calorie as well. It's definitely the best chicken salad I've ever tasted.

This is excellent. I used red grapes in addition to the green. I couldn't locate the creamy cucumber dressing at my local (and often inadequate) grocery, but used cucmber ranch, instead. I forgot to add the mandarin oranges, and it was still great. I served it at a luncheon on lettuce leaves, and ate the extra in grainy bread sandwiches. Yum! I will make this again!

Although I did make changes to this recipie, I'm still giving it 5 stars. I used left over boneless baked chicken breast instead of the canned chicken. I searched and couldn't find cucumber dressing in any of our markets so I substituted light mayo. Also I think the green grapes would be tasty but I used seedless red ones as I had them in the house. The red grapes, orange mandarin oranges, green celery, and brown nuts gave it a nice presentation.
