Best Chicken Salad Ever
This recipe for chicken salad with raisins uses canned chicken, but if you want to use leftover chunked chicken or turkey, it's even better. A dab of sweet relish is a tasty surprise, and we love the apples, pecans, and raisins. The creamy salad dressing finishes it off nicely.
