For an even richer flavor, use leftover roasted chicken or turkey, diced into bite-sized pieces. If you don't have sweet pickle relish, a small amount of finely chopped dill pickle can be substituted. Feel free to adjust the amount of yogurt to achieve your desired consistency. For a nut-free version, omit the pecans. This salad is best served cold. Avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods.
