- Making the dressing: In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients together, including any reserved orange juice, until well-combined.

5 Stars, great combination of flavors and contrasts for a refreshing chicken salad: bursts of liquid orange vs crunchy green celery and red capsium with some heat from the scallions, and some chill from the sweet yogurt-honey dressing (I recommend orange blossom honey). Used chopped walnuts instead of pecans, what's not to like! Made for Newest Zaar Tag.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
