Southern Chicken Salad Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Chicken Salad Recipes. (Southern Chicken Salad Recipe). Buttermilk lends the dressing a distinctive flavor, and grapes and cashews lend it richness. I have found that it works best if I add the dressing all at once, but if there is any left over, pass it around to people separately.
