Reviews

This recipe is advertised at "2" servings. I made enough (I thought) for 3 following the recipe. The quantity is more for 6 servings. Also, I poured the dressing over all approximately 2 hours before serving, added about 3/4 cup chopped basil & parsley. Served with garlic bread.

Cool Lemon Chicken Salad

I made this for my bridge club. All eight gals including me loved it. The other seven asked for the recipe. It's easy to make and delicious. The lemon and fresh basil add a lot to the recipe. Interestingly enough, Kraft doesn't have this on their recipe web site even though it's one of their recipes.
