Toasted almond slivers in chicken salad is so very good. If adding
toasted nuts, I recommend adding those at the very last moment when the
salad gets served. My experience has been they'll lose their crunch and
get 'soggy' if the nuts are included when the salad is made or any
significant time before serving (more than 1 or 2 hours??).
