Lighter Chicken Salad {revisited}

I posted this recipe for chicken salad almost exactly two years ago.  It still remains one of my favorite recipes for chicken salad so I thought I better pull it from the archives, take a new pictures, and post any adaptations I've made over time.  This has continued to be my go-to recipe because it turns out great every time.  I still love that it doesn't use an exorbitant amount of mayonnaise and it gives me an opportunity to use buttermilk that I always seem to have leftover.  Really, chicken salad is such an easy dish to throw together.  Once you cook the chicken, everything gets mixed together and you're done!  I say this is a recipe but really, it's just a list of ingredients. :)  What's not to love?
