Brooklyn Chicken Salad with Fresh Broccoli and Pickles

Very tasty and unusual, for every day and for holidays! I highly recommend trying the classic Brooklyn salad with chicken — bright, with interesting flavor accents. Broccoli gives it a pleasant freshness, a beautiful bright appearance, and in combination with pickled cucumbers, it also gives it a light crunchy note.
