My family has always loved chicken salad sandwiches, and I’ve prepared it many different ways. Sometimes, I enjoy the simple 4 ingredient version with just grapes, chicken, celery, and mayo, but there are times when I can really go for this extra version loaded with flavors. While still keeping it simple, this Easy Ultimate Chicken Salad recipe takes chicken salad to a whole new level! Plus, it’s still super healthy!
