When I think of Neiman Marcus, I think of elegance, class and the best of the best. I only found out recently that this fine department store is also home to the NM Cafe, famous for it’s chocolate chip cookies and this wonderful Neiman Marcus chicken salad. (Here is the famous Neiman Marcus chocolate chip cookie recipe.)
This Neiman Marcus chicken salad recipe is so creamy – it does start with whipped heavy cream after all – and is a terrific upgrade to standard chicken salads.
