Healthy Rotisserie Chicken Salad

I love chicken salad, but often times do not order it out because I might as well just eat a bowl of mayo. Does not sound too appetizing anymore, does it?! When I make it at home, I can make a healthier version that does not sacrifice any taste and can control the amount of mayo that goes into the salad (mayo being something that kind of gives me the heebie geebies). You can use any cooked chicken, but I find that Rotisserie Chicken (white meat) works the best. It is moist and flavorful, and usually pretty affordable. Here is the recipe (make modifications where you see fit):
