Dis is da bomb! Loved all ingredients in this wonderful chicken salad with a big taste. The gerkins, purple onions, the almonds and egg make up all the wonderful taste to this salad. I added less mayonnaise at first, and as it was a bit dry, added another tablespoon. (I used about 1/4 cup mayonnaise altogether) Served on fresh lettuce and tomato, and boy was this tasty! Thanks, Nimz!

    Almost forgot to rate this, made it last week for work day lunches for hubby and I. We had it on crackers and it was very yummy. I liked the addition of the gherkins. I plan on taking this on our annual family car show weekend, thanks!

    Yum! I love every ingredient in this and they were wonderful together. I don't usually add egg to my chicken salads, but will from now on. I used leftovers as a sandwich which was really good too. Thanks Nimz.
