Chicken Salad is so simple to make but still hard to find a good one. My husband and I like different kinds of chicken salads. He likes his simple: chicken, celery, salt and pepper and mayo. And I like mine spicy and tangy. I love to have pickles, sour cream, and capers in it, almost like a remoulade with chicken. Today I had a bunch of left over chicken and was looking for a new kind of chicken salad we both would enjoy and I think I might have found a winner. I came across a Cranberry and walnut chicken salad by Smitten Kitchen. However, my husband doesn’t like cranberries or walnuts in his salad so instead I used pine nuts and golden raisins; I also added Dijon mustard as well. Turned out great!
Let me know your favorite chicken salad.

What if that site got to where it’s at because you hired an SEO company and they were SO smart
that they had figured out Google’s algorithm and gotten you the
spots you paid them to get you strategically. To get an idea of how the SEO
report look like, you can request them to provide you with a sample.
