This completes my series on Summer Picnic. Remember the Potato Salad, Sour Cherry & Pecan Cookies with Chocolate Chips and Watermelon Lemonade? While those three are quite delicious together, you probably need some protein – and that’s where this chicken salad comes in.

What do you like in your chicken salad?
I'll so be making this tonight! YUM! Thanks.
This looks fabulous! Safeway often has their rotisserie chickens on sale during their "$5 Fridays." What a great addition to a picnic!
Just made this. DELICIOUS!!!!! So good! Must share!!! Thanks. Keep it up.
Thank you for sharing this post. I really want to prepare this for tomorrow’s lunch but my wife just hates grapes and apples in chicken salad. What other fruits can I use? Will pineapples be fine? Thank you.
Shiva, thank you for your question. If your wife is a fan of pineapple, you can certainly use them in the chicken salad. You can also try pears or plums. Or just leave the fruit out and enjoy the salad the way it is.
