     I think its better to subsitute mayo with yogurt or for a unique flavour try hummus or another bean spread rather than thin it with milk. - 6/13/10

    The problem is that the mayo flavor is what I am accustomed to in various chicken/tuna salads. Yogurt has a very distinctive flavor, and hummus is equally as high-fat as the mayo (olive oil & chickpeas instead of oil & egg). But this is definitely an option, and one I'll likely experiment with! Thx!

     Would like to try this, but I like grapes in my chicken salad, can I just add them or replace them with something else listed in the recipe? - 5/4/10

    I'd just add them - figure in a few extra calories for the grapes, depending on how much you use, and a little extra carb. :)

     You can also use can chicken, low fat cream cheese, diced celery, diced bell pepper, and a little olive oil.
    *add salt to taste*
    I serve mine with celery. - 3/23/11

    I did actually have the diced celery in this recipe already, and I tend to avoid cream cheese due to the high sodium content, hence why I didn't mention it. But those are great suggestions!
