Delicious! I have to admit that I took a shortcut and used bottled poppyseed dressing! Otherwise, followed the recipe exactly.

Absolutely scrumptious! I prepared this for dinner this evening, and my husband adored it! I attempted to make it a bit healthier by substituting 1/4 cup of light mayo with 1/4 cup of fat-free Greek yogurt, and it turned out fantastic!

This recipe is fantastic as it is written, but it can easily be adjusted to suit your preferences or ingredients on hand. We decided to replace half of the mayonnaise with olive oil and threw in some bell peppers from our fridge. Additionally, we swapped pecans for walnuts. It's a wonderful recipe that offers great inspiration for trying out different variations.

I prefer poppyseed dressing over mayo.

I absolutely loved this salad! I had some leftover rotisserie chicken and an abundance of strawberries, so I decided to give this recipe a try. I followed the instructions closely, but had to substitute poppy seeds with celery seeds, which turned out to be a great choice. To my surprise, I found this combination even more delicious than the classic version with cranberries and pecans. I would have never thought of combining chicken and strawberries, but I'm thrilled that I did - it was a delightful discovery!
