Notes
- This recipe also pairs with tuna instead of chicken.
- If you’re watching your sodium intake, try baking and chopping a chicken breast instead of using canned sodium.
- You can also check the nutrition facts label for an option with less sodium.
- Mustard can have a sneaky amount of sodium in it, so check the nutrition labels for a lower sodium option.
- If you’re out of apples, cut grapes are another great fruit to add in.
- To avoid wasting food, pair the other half of your apple with your favorite nut butter for an afternoon snack.
- If you don’t have large leaf lettuce, you can top the chicken salad on arugula, spinach or whole wheat bread.
- If you’re not a fan of walnuts, you can swap out for your favorite nut instead.
