Notes

I used leftover chicken instead. You can also use turkey or duck but the taste will be different. Since the leftover chicken I had was already flavored, I held back a bit on the salt and pepper.
You can adjust the amount of pickle relish and condensed milk used in the recipe depending on how sweet or sour you want your salad to be.
