How do I spice up my boring chicken salad?

I had it for lunch today and plan on eating more tomorrow but it's so plain and blah!  It's just chicken, light Miracle Whip and pickle relish.  What ideas do you have?

Right now yours sounds awesome since I can only have the chicken and mayo.  No pickle relish for me just yet.

I always add some chopped onion.   I used to add celery but haven't been brave enough to feed tiny tummy any celery.  I am afraid of the possible ramifications! I added some chopped almonds to the last batch of tuna salad I made.  Nice crunch and flavor.  You could also try a few of the jarred bavon bits.  Maybe slice some apple into it at the last minute before you eat?

 

how about some minced garlic?

Grapes and walnuts (maybe next time, not with pickle relish) or apples and raisins.

For tomorrow, grate some carrot and dice a green onion, a shot of garlic powder....mmmm mmmm good.

I make mine with chicken, pickle relish, mayo, boiled egg, onion, garlic and sunflower kernels. 

This recipe I found looks downright delicious...........
