My mom taught me how to make chicken salad in college and it quickly became one of my go to staple meals! I have added some extra ingredients along the way to spruce it up. The great part about this chicken salad recipe is you can eat it alone since it is packed with so much flavor from the fresh fruit! Â If you prefer you can also pair it with crackers (gluten free rice crackers are my favorite choice) or in a sandwich.
My organic chicken salad has become super popular among my friends! I am always packing it for days at the beach and road trips! If you know me, then you know I don’t like to be hungry, so I am always prepared with a snack…which is why I am now referred to as the Snack Queen! LOL! So now you know who to take a day trip with if you want to be well fed 😉 Try making it yourself and my organic chicken salad will become one of your favorites too!
