Chicken salad is a family favorite and so are crisp, crunchy apples. Combine the two for this flavorful autumn-inspired recipe. Serve it with whole grain crackers, between whole-wheat bread, tucked into a pita pocket, or on top of a green salad.
1 medium apple, unpeeled and finely diced (about 1 ¼ cups)
¼ cup finely diced celery
½ cup light mayonnaise
Salt and pepper
Place the chicken, apple, and celery in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
Add the mayonnaise and stir until the chicken mixture is well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Refrigerate until ready to serve and use within 2 days.
TIP: Most apple varieties work well in this recipe. Choose a crisp Granny Smith apple if your family prefers tart flavors, or go sweet with a Golden or Red Delicious.
