chicken saladChicken salad is a nice, easy lunch for when you’re on the go. If I’m going to eat it though, I always make my own. That way I know exactly what goes into it and that I’m getting the most nutrient-value from my food that I possibly can. However, traditional chicken salad can get old fast, so I like to spice mine up a bit and give it a kick! I bring you Sriracha Chicken Salad!

Substituting nonfat plain Greek yogurt for mayonnaise is a great idea. You get the same tanginess without the extra fat, AND you’re getting a whole lot more protein!

Here’s a time saving tip:  chop your grapes, celery & onion while your chicken is baking & cooling.  You can also chop a day in advance for easy assembly at dinner time.
