I made a chicken salad with leftover roasted chicken, but it felt too ordinary so I jazzed it up with dill pickles. Lots of dill pickles.

I made chicken salad this morning too. Leftover roast chicken, diced apples, curry powder, a touch of mango chutney and some mayo. Yummy on cranberry bread for my lunch.
Mmm that one sounds yummy. I was going to put apples in mine instead of pickles but I ran out of apples and was too lazy to go to the store.
Dill Pickles! What a creative way to use one. While I enjoy a pickle on the side, with either a chicken or tuna salad sandwich, I never thought about cutting it in.
I love dill pickles! I have never tried them in chicken salad. They have made an appearance in my tuna salad and they are delish!
