For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the dressing. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the dressing. This chicken salad is best served cold. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve in a sandwich, over a green salad, or with crackers.
