Great, didn't change a thing.

Like some other reviewers, I added several dashes of poultry seasoning and garlic powder to the mayo mixture. Instead of 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries, I used 1 cup. I also omitted the bell pepper. I usually serve it with whole wheat Wheat Thins. EVERYONE asks me for this recipe!!!! Oh, and it's better the next day!

I made this chicken salad for a baby shower, exactly according to the recipe. It was a big hit. I used rotisserie chicken breast meat, which made it easy. And I was so glad I took home the leftovers. It was even better the next couple days when the flavors could really blend. Making it for Mother's Day lunch this weekend. It's a keeper!

I have made this salad several times, and it is very tasty. Great to make a large batch and eat for lunch during the busy work week.

Awesome recipe. I will never buy it again. Keeper!

Not bad. Rather than purchase frozen entrees for this week's lunches, I whipped up a batch of this to get me thru the week. While tasty, I'm not sure this will become my "go-to" chicken salad recipe. Admittedly, I made a couple of changes and in the interest of awarding a fair review, I'd like to give this another try following Emma's directions exactly. I made three changes, two of which I'd make again and one that I wouldn't. I didn't feel this called for enough spice, so I added 1/4 t poultry seasoning and a 1/2 t garlic powder. I'd recommend this enhancement. My final change was substituting candied pecans for plain pecans. In retrospect, I would have BY FAR preferred the taste of toasted pecans in this. NOTE: One reviewer suggested "plumping" her cranberries in hot tap water. Although a good idea (I do this sometimes myself), it is totally unnecessary here. I'd also like to note that this is GREAT served fresh, but not nearly as good days later. The pecans lose their crunch and the dried cranberries turn to mush (but I think that's because I plumped mine first...). The type of bread you choose to serve this on also makes ALL the difference. I served my sandwich on raisin bread (as one reviewer said her local diner does) and wish I wouldn't have. :( Whole wheat bread or a flaky croissant would have been a much better choice, IMHO. Thanks for sharing, your neat recipe, Emma. This will be making an appearance at this year's holiday luncheon for sure! :-)

Very good as is, but next time I'll experiment with more spices.

I thought this recipe was ok, but with all the positive reviews I thought it would blow me away a bit more. I made it almost exactly as written except that I added a bit of garlic powder as suggested by one reviewer. Well, I felt that the whole thing was a bit salty, so that may have been the wrong decision for my tastes (or leave out some/all of the seasoning salt).

My family loved this and I received many compliments. It's easy to make. I used a rotisserie chicken and substituted half a green apple for the green pepper. Other than that I followed the recipe and it was delicious. I recommend making ahead and letting the flavors meld. I served it on croissants with a fruit salad and chips. I will make this again for sure.

add walnuts, almonds and dried cranberries
