As you’ve probably read, Alex and I have been making some great changes to our diet, eating habits and are focusing on getting ourselves healthy.  One thing that has been hard for us on this journey is to find recipes that we really enjoy or that are easy to prepare ahead and enjoy throughout the week.

Recipes like this one for organic chicken salad are just what we are looking for, something that is good for us, easy to prepare and it can be served multiple times in a week and in a variety of ways.

This salad is great to serve as is, on bread, with crackers, pita chips, in a wrap or however else you wish.  

You can whip up this salad on your own with the recipe below. (You can print this recipe below).
