For a creamier salad, use full-fat mayonnaise. Feel free to substitute other nuts like pecans or walnuts for the almonds. If you don't have pimento peppers, you can use a tablespoon of roasted red bell pepper instead. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
