Christina’s Notes:

Chicken mixture can be heated in a microwave if you want it warm. Keep in mind you can use any combination of meats or vegetables that fit you or your family’s needs. This is one of my go-to dressings; it’s great on macaroni salad, used as a salad dressing and also a fantastic vegetable dip!
