Light & Healthy Chicken Salad

One of my mom’s best friend’s Anita makes the best chicken salad. It is so good. I had planned on making Giada’s Curry Chicken Salad for dinner the other night, but didn’t have a few of the ingredients, so I decided to make Anita’s Chicken Salad and take some cues from Giada by adding some chili powder and cayenne to it. I also decided to add some honey mustard. It added some nice flavor, but would be just as good without these three ingredients. It’s also good for you too.
