“Love this chicken salad recipe. ?? I always stuck to a recipe that my mom made with chicken breast, miracle whip, celery, granny smith apple (no skin) chopped into small cubes and yellow raisins. Occasionally we would throw in some pecans or walnuts depe” — a cook, 5.0★
“I love this recipe. I had been looking for some easy and healthy meals to prep ahead of time for quick lunches. I use non fat greek yogurt and canned chicken (drained and then shredded). Walnuts and pecans for the nuts and grapes. I omit the chopped red onion ” — a cook, 5.0★
