I'm hoping the new chicken salad has more large pieces of chicken.....comments?

I haven't seen this yet in Ohio, but am intrigued. I think this is going to go one way or the other - it's going to be phenomenal or it will be just awful. Can't wait to see which way it goes! I hope it tastes great and is a big hit!

I'm assuming no Hawaiian chicken salad this summer? Anyone heard?

I had this for lunch yesterday, no large pieces of chicken but it was really good. I will get this again.

I had this today for lunch, no big pieces but I liked it, I added some pepper to it.

i really want to try it but for some reason i am scared of the prepacked salads..

I think this would have been better without the pickles. It seemed to me they took the regular chicken salad and added pepper to it.

The pickles gave it a sort of weird taste to me. Think I will pass buying it again.

it is SO GOOD... OMG

I tried it this week and it was pretty good. I'd order it again over the regular chicken salad kit. Loved the pineapple pieces, instead of applesauce.

I did not think it had all that much spice to it - any ideas on what to add to it to kick it up a notch? (I'm not a very good cook, so I have no idea what spices would be good to add).

I didn't taste any pickles! I dont recall seeing pickles listed in the ingredients, either. Are you certain your JCC gave you the right meal?

That being said, I thought it was pretty good. I couldn't tell if the crackers were the same as in the other kits because my toddler snagged them and I ended up using whole wheat Ritz instead. I still love the turkey & cranberry kit best of all.

Take care,
Angela

If it wasn't pickles what was it?!?!?!? ohmy.gif

I am pretty sure it was the Fajita salad because it had pineapple instead of the applesauce. Okay now I am curious as to what the "sour pickle" taste was in my chicken salad.

I might have to buy one again and analyze it!

I thought it was OKAY! Just OKAY... however, I Love Love Love pineapple so I would likely order it again just for that reason... Mmmm, pineapple!!

smile.gif I was actually surprised. It was pretty good. It does beat the other kits. The pineapple chunks made it even better!

It's a common mistake --- the things in ALL of the salad kits are actually pieces of celery --- not pickels.

I didn't care for the flavor of it. I haven't had the other salad kits so I can't compare it. deb

I'm only on day 4, and so far, so good. I had the Fajita Chicken Salad today for lunch, and must say, from some of the comments, I was afraid of it, but I really liked it.
This was my first meal of this type, and I guess I was lazy today, so I just cut up a cucumber, and had the salad on the crackers. Added a little fresh pepper, and ate the whole thing. Think this will make a great on the run lunch. Glad I didn't listen to all the negative comments about these salads. Debbie

I just had it for the first time today and OMG was it good. I like the zing of flavor it has over the other salad kits. Will definitely be scooping these up since they may be temporary. smile.gif

dry.gif I'm glad to hear that some other people liked it. I tried it a couple of days ago and I didn't like it. I'd rather them bring back the Hawaiian Chicken Salad!

It is good. It is a million times better than the greasy regular chicken salad. I hate the other salad. There are only three things I won't eat, so it is not like I am picky. I am going to take a few when I travel and I think I can change it up a little.

I threw it away without finishing it.

WOW- well, as usual, opinions are all over the place!
I'll have a run at it this week- perhaps add more celery and stuff it into a tomato.
The salad kits always need serious volumizing to resemble a meal for me.

But yeah, IMHO, the tuna one - my cat snubbed it!

Maybe I am missing this, when did it come out? Or is it only in select centers?

I tried this new salad kit and it was really good. Loved the spices and the pineapple. I think I'm going to freeze the pineapple and put it in a coup of milk to have a pineapple "milkshake" with it next time and a large salad. Nice flavor though. I had it at the airport between McDonalds, Qdobe, pastry shops, etc. It was a huge win for me.

I just finished this up for lunch and I think this was my favorite food so far!

I put a bunch of leaf spinach in a big bowl, put the chicken salad on top and then used a packet of jenny Ranch on it, I chopped that up so it got mixed very well, then I added the drained pineapple on the top. YUM!! A great flavor combo there!! THUMBS UP!

I am pretty sure those are sweet pickles, but they are chopped up so small all they do is add flavor. If they were dill they would not work very well when mixing with the pineapple...so my thought is sweet pickels.

I love the salad kits. I travel so much and these are able to go right through security and I can eat them anywhere. I like the fiesta instead of the regular chicken because the pineapple is such a treat! But my favorite part are the crackers. I feel like I'm cheating a little when I eat that last cracker all by itself. I love these kits!
