Notes
Toast the almonds carefully over low heat. Stir often so they turn golden without burning.
Use cooked chicken that is well-seasoned. This adds more depth and flavor to the salad.
Mix the dressing until smooth before adding ingredients. This ensures even coating throughout.
Chop the celery finely. This gives a nice crunch without overpowering each bite.
Chill the salad briefly before serving. This helps the flavors blend and taste more balanced.
