Fall Chicken Salad – Recipe!

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Chicken salad is one of those staple recipes that is easy to put together and tastes delicious over mixed greens, or between two slices of bread.  I like to change up the ingredients from season to season because there are so many different things you can add to a bowl of chicken salad to make it taste delightful.

For starters, the same old mayo-based dressing needs to go during the fall.  I prefer to use a nut butter mixed with fresh lime juice for a different creamy twist.  The chicken will absorb a slight nutty taste, which deepens as it sits in the refrigerator.  Also, adding some diced apples and celery gives it an autumnal crunch.

You can either buy a rotisserie cooked chicken breast or poach your own for this recipe.  This chicken salad will most definitely make you feel like fall is here.
