Answering the musical question: what do you do when she wants chicken salad but hates celery and is allergic to onions?
chicken, cooked and dicedI didn't put amounts because I think chicken salad is one of those things best balanced as you go. I will say this, for a couple of pounds of chicken, you won't need more than a tablespoon of mustard. I pour a tablespoon or two of lemon juice over the apples while I'm getting everything else ready so they don't turn brown. To toast the pecans, set the oven at 400, put the pecan halves in a pie plate and cook for about five minutes. Chop them after they cool.
granny smith apple, diced
lemon juice
dried cranberries
pecans, toasted and rough chopped
dijon mustard
mayonnaise
salt and pepper
Peace,

mmmmm - add a little celery and a tiny bit of green onion and you're all set! :) (just kidding) - sounds delicious!!
The cranberries would be great. We don't like celery and onion in ours and I usually use a tart red-skinned apple of some sort with halved green grapes. I'll have to try adding a bit of dijon and see what happens.
