CREAMY CHICKEN SALAD

WHAT'S FOR LUNCH?


Starting to prep and find some yummy recipes to start my 21 day nutrition plan on Monday. This recipe is a keeper!!

Super easy, yummy and you don't get that fattening, guilty feeling from eating chicken salad you find at the grocery store made with mayonnaise. This is made with greek yogurt. Light and delicious!
You can eat it on a bed of romaine lettuce or wrap it up in a whole grain tortilla with some extra dijon mustard for a little kick. mmmmmmmmm!!
