I made this and although it was good I found that the onion is a little overwhelming and think I will leave it out of the salad the next time I make it. That being said the dressing is awesome and I think I will love the salad equally when I make it without the onion - perhaps I will use a little shallot instead

Can you leave the rice out of this to lower the carbs?

Way too heavy on mayo! Use 1/3 cup for chicken salad and thin with pickle juice (either sweet or dill)...eliminate completely from dressing.

This sound delish. To make a lighter or less caloric salad you can use lite mayo or even switch to a balsamic dressing. That would be extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a little lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic simple as that. Balsamic goes nice with avacado.

Simply Delicious. We put the chicken salad in a wrap and then dipped it in the dressing. I will definitely be making this again!

SCRUMMMMMMPTIOUS!!! I TWEAKED THE RECIPE AND CONVERTED IT TO A MEXICAN SALAD. I USED RED ONION IN THE SALAD AND DRESSING AND SUBSTITUTED THE PARSLEY WITH THE KING OF FLAVOR "CILANTRO" AND SERVED IT WITH FRESH TORTILLA CHIPS. WE HAD A FAMILY GATHERING SO I MADE A LARGE AMOUNT (4X RECIPE FOR 30 SERVINGS) AND IT STILL WASN'T ENOUGH! THANKS FOR THE RECIPE PAULA, I HAVE NOW EARNED MY PLACE IN FAMILY POTLUCKS...AND WITH THIS SAID, I'M NOW ASKING MY FAMILY FOR THEIR PRIZE RECIPES AND I'M PUTTING TOGETHER A FAMILY RECIPE BOOK FOR HOLIDAY GIFT GIVING!
