Easy Chicken Salad

In honor of summer, I sought out to find an easy, yummy chicken salad recipe. I found and slightly modified this recipe on Pinterest, and it did not disappoint! I was interested to see if Parker would like it since it's so different from what I usually make, but he really enjoyed it! We both agree that next time we will probably leave out the green onions. They gave it a nice little kick, but we are just not onion people. Other than that, A+! It's easy to prepare early and refrigerate for an on-the-go meal. Not to mention, it's healthy! Convinced yet?

Ingredients:
3 cups diced, cooked chicken (I don't usually use canned chicken in recipes, but it would work here)
3/4 cup fat free mayo
1 cup red grapes, halved
1 green onion, diced
1/2 cup diced apple
1/2 cup pecans (walnuts would be delicious too)
salt and pepper to taste
optional: 1 stalk celery, diced

Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.
2. Cover and chill for about an hour or until ready to serve.
3. Serve on a croissant or just by itself. Enjoy!

This is obviously a great lunch option, but I served it with summer veggies and sweet potato fries for an easy dinner too!
