This savory chicken salad is by far my favorite. I'm a huge fan of chicken salad and have tried many variations over the years. This recipe with simple, refreshing flavors and great texture is wonderful on a sandwich or served over a bed of lettuce.

  • 3 stalks celery, finely diced

  • ¾ cup chopped pecans

  • 1 ½ tablespoons sweet pickle relish

  • 2 teaspoons prepared mustard
