Nice twist on chicken salad, however if I were going to go so far as to call it "gourmet" I wouldn't used canned chicken... I opted to use some leftover citrus grilled chicken I had on hand. I also used some red grapes for a little color. I didn't have cucumber salad dressing so I used Hellman's light mayo cut with a bit of sour cream and added a bit of salt, pepper and just a bit of curry powder. Overall, very good on toasted whole grain bread.

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!

I havent tried this yet but I just wanted to let you know that there is a creamy cucumber salad dressing recipe on this site just in case you cant find any or cant find or don't care for the kraft cucumber ranch or maybe use a greek yogurt/cucumber sauce instead :)I plan on making this recipe sometime soon.

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.
