Chicken Salad

So I've been wanting chicken salad for the last month, and I've been too lazy to make it, but all the pre-made stuff at the store seems to have crispy noodles of some sort in it these days. (!?) So this is what I came up with.

2 cooked chicken breasts (Sunrise brand if you're in Alberta is my favorite free-range chicken company right now)
4 ribs of celery
1/4 cup of sunflower seeds without shells - you could also use sliced almonds. I was planning to use sliced almonds but then I didn't have any.
juice of 1 whole lemon
1 tsp Lowry's seasoning salt (or just salt and pepper, maybe some onion powder and sage too)
3/4 cup Hellman's Balsamic Mayonnaise (it won't seem like a lot, but you've already got lemon juice in there, so don't overdo it - if you mix it in and you want to add more, you can, but start small so you don't have a mayonnaise pile)
You could also add some chopped green onion or chives, but I didn't have any

Mix everything together. Makes about 3 cups. Let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour or so to let the flavors blend.
