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!
