How to Serve the Chicken Salad

This is a summer fave meal for me because it’s super simple to make, light, and healthy! Here’s a few serving suggestions in case you’d like some other options!

• Pita bread

• Hearty sliced bread

• As a dip with crackers

• Over a bed of lettuce

• Plain with a fork! – HA! Yes, it’s that good!

Ingredient Swaps

• Instead of pecans, toasted almonds are a great alternative for this summer chicken salad! (though, any kind of your choice would work)

• Don’t have fresh fruit on hand? No worries! This chicken salad works well with dried cranberries or even raisons.

• Not a big berry fan? Sometimes when I have extra grapes on hand, I’ll throw them in this recipe for a little sweetness! I find that adding fruit balances out the savory flavors of the chicken and spices – which in my opinion, is the key to a fantastic chicken salad!
