Notes
- You can adjust the amounts of the Dijon and honey to suit your tastes. Use more Dijon for a tangier chicken salad or more honey for a sweeter outcome.
- The onions and chopped pecans are what I'd mix in, but you could also add in diced celery.
- You can serve this right away but it is one of those recipes that tastes better if you let it marinate for a little while.
