Very good write-up. I certainly love this website. Thanks!

This is an absolute hit at our house! Thanks so much for such a fantastic healthy version of chicken salad!

Tried this out tonight, and my husband LOVED it!!  I used to make chicken salad with eggs, and he didn't care for it.  I'm so glad to find an easy make-ahead choice for his lunch!  Thanks for sharing!

My husband and I really enjoyed this! I didn't have sage, but it turned out great. I also tried adding a little bit of honey and apples (I just love apples in my chicken salad!), and I liked it being a little bit sweeter. Thanks so much!

Delicious lunch. My husband liked it, too.

I thought this was going to be weird.. to me it seemed like a lot of mustard but this was actually very very good! My family loved it and my co-workers sampled some of my lunch and asked me for the recipe.
Quick and Easy, perfect for a week night meal. I made some baked fries for a side along with some grapes.

LOVE this recipe. I make this at least once a week and is my go to for a healthy lunch! I throw it atop somce greens or some times on a sprouted grain roll! Occasionally I'll add diced dried apricots too! Great recipe!

First time visitor here. But I already fell in love with what you have here!

Thank you for sharing this easy recipe. It is so delicious.

Made this for lunch for some guests and it was a big hit! Definitely will be making it again soon for easy lunches during the week.

I wish I hadn’t added the Dijon mustard, I ended up throwing the whole bowl away.  I’m not to fond of Dijon mustard but thought I wouldn’t be able to taste it but it over powers everything else.
