Chicken Salad Recipe Everyone Will Love
Are you in need of a quick meal that is tasty and healthy? Look no further than this chicken salad recipe that everyone will love!
Ok surely not everyone in the entire world would love it, but this savory and sweet chicken salad is a crowd-pleaser for sure!
If you ever wonder what to do with your leftover chicken then I have the perfect plan for you!
This tasty recipe is easy to throw together if you already have cooked chicken on hand.
If you don’t already have cooked chicken then be sure to prep and cook your chicken first. I recommend marinating for a few hours and grilling for peak flavoring!
I use my homemade mayo in this recipe for a healthier option that tastes amazing!
I also prefer the spice of Dijon mustard but you can try with classic yellow or your favorite mustard.
This recipe would also taste great with extra add-ins like celery, sliced almonds, or dates!
If you are looking for a sugar-free option then simply omit the honey.
