Colleen's Chicken Salad with Apples and Walnuts
I make this chicken salad recipe quite often, especially in the summer. I use it as both salad and sandwich, depending on my mood. I put a bit more curry than called for, as I like the taste of curry a lot. I have also substituted raisins for cranberries; but I think I prefer the cranberries. Make it yourself today!
