We call this 'fancy' Chicken Salad but it's truly easy. Its a fresher and lighter version of classic creamy chicken salad and it keeps well so it’s great for meal prep. Try it on sandwiches, wraps, lettuce cups, or with crackers for a quick snack. Plus, there are so many *variations for chicken salad so you can use what you have on hand.
