I recently posted Chicken Salad Italian Style to my site and was overwhelmed with the ton of positive reviews I received. My cousin Lisa made the salad and put her own twist on it by using White Balsamic Vinegar instead of the dark I used in my original recipe. I love that Lisa did this: Her Chicken Salad Italian Style not only looks delicious but beautiful as well. I truly I hope you will try either one of the versions of this lovely, light and healthy Chicken Salad.

Thank you all for the compliments on the salad and thank you Lisa for using my recipe with great success and for sending the photo.
I love it when you shake it up a bit with a recipe, mine or anyone else’s. It is what cooking is all about. If we didn’t make changes to recipes there would never be any new dishes to try. On Facebook I recently saw a recipe by a chef I worked for a very long time ago. This was a recipe we did at his restaurant over 25 years ago, it’s in his cookbooks and now he is reintroducing it to us at a new restaurant he is opening in Central Florida. The recipe is the same but he changed it up ever so slightly to make it new all over again. I love that he did this and it is reassuring to me, and all good chefs, that there will never be a time when new recipes do not come about.
(In my original Chicken Salad Italian Style I’ve made a note of choosing either vinegar.)
Enjoy!!
