Yummy Chicken Salad

Today's recipe actually came from my daughter! She and her roommates made this recipe when they were in college. It has been such a family favorite that Julie requested this "comfort food" as part of her wedding buffet! One of the reasons chicken salad is so popular is its versatility. If you don’t like the some of the “non-traditional” ingredients, either leave them out or substitute what your family likes. Adding additional fruits and vegetables is a perfect way to bolster your family’s intake of these items. Research shows very few of us get the recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables.

Be prepared -this is a large recipe of chicken salad – perfect for a crowd or leftovers! If it seems overwhelming to you, simply half the ingredients! Remember these are recipes intended to help your family eat healthier – adapt as needed!

Finally, there are many websites that can break down the nutrient analysis of any recipe. If you have a health concern about any recipe, be sure and use all the free helps available online. Have a great day!
