Maybe it's just me but I like something with a bit of "tooth" or crunch in my chicken/tuna salad. That's why I usually add celery diced small.

Jusst head for Wal-Mart and look across the street/road. Aldi has a store adjacent to all three of our Wally-Worlds. They even relocated a very busy store from the inner city to the outskirts to be across the road from the newest WM "super centre" That called much weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth as many without cars in their former area complained that their last "accessible" source of groceries had abandoned them. Many were seniors or lower income folks who depended on that store. So County Msrket (Niemann Foods) put an new stupormarkup in that inner city area .... it's busy all the time as it's near two senior high-rise apartment buildings and much "affordable" housing. And on two different bus routes.
