Sounds yummy!! Thanks for posting/sharing! I'll have to try this recipe. I love chicken salad.

sounds good and meets my carb/protein/calorie guidelines! I bet it would be yummy served on a lettuce leaf or perhaps even a slice of avacado (which of course ups the calories and healthy fat)

Sounds like it was made for me! How about putting it in a cored green (red, orange, yellow) pepper?! Im off to the grocery.....

[VSGmary 418]

Ooooh yes! Both suggestions would work perfectly fine with this salad . Its very versatile and quite a refreshing yummy salad

I used to make a similar salad using canned chicken from costco. I had forgotten but it was one of my staples for awhile. It was a slightly different flavor base but good and made for great lunches. No need to make a sandwich....
