FAQs?
For how long should we refrigerate the salad before serving?
It would help to refrigerate the salad for at least half an hour before serving. This allows the salad to set and all the flavors to merge to give a final delicious flavor to your salad.
Which nuts do we add to the salad?
The addition of nuts or dry fruits is entirely optional in this recipe. You can add peanuts, almonds, pistachio, etc. but make sure these nuts are crushed for a better taste in your chicken salad.
