3. Mix the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.

5. Add the Dressing: Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture. Gently fold together until all ingredients are well coated.
6. Refrigerate: If time allows, refrigerate the salad for about 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
7. Serve: Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir. Serve on a bed of lettuce leaves or on its own in a bowl.
