This recipe has been my "go to" chicken salad recipe for well over a decade. I have never had one disparaging comment about it, and it has been served at bridal and baby showers, tea parties and even for casual, quick dinners.
What makes it so good is the yogurt, which adds a nice, light tang, instead of the heaviness of mayonnaise. The pimentos are a necessity as they add a terrific flavor. The rest of the ingredients are fresh, and enable the chicken salad to be served over a bed of lettuce, a lovely wholegrain bread, or even siljans (highly addictive and very attractive looking!). I have used leftover chicken from a Sunday roast, or a rotisserie I bought from the grocer. Either way, it is healthy and delicious!
