Adapted from a recipe in the Penzeys Spices catalog. A good choice for anyone (like me) who isn't crazy about traditional mayonnaise-y chicken salad. It's especially good on toasted bread.

Ingredients:

3 cups cubed cooked chicken

1/2 cup cubed or shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4-1/2 cup creamy peppercorn or ranch salad dressing

1/3 cup chopped dill pickles (i used dill relish to make it easier)

3 tablespoons capers (optional)

2 -3 tablespoons spicy mustard, to taste

1/2-1 teaspoon pepper, to taste

1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste

1/4-1/2 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon pickle juice (omit if using dill relish, there's enough juice in it already)

Directions:

1. Put chicken in mixing bowl and add other ingredients to taste. Chill before serving. Great on toasted whole wheat bread!
