About
If you're like us, we don't like to put too much work into making our lunch. But of course, we want it to taste good... there's no room for boring lunches here! This Basic Chicken Salad came together with that inspiration and don't worry, it's only "basic" because it's just so easy to throw together. We love the tempting blend of chicken tossed with crunchy celery and toasted almonds. It's the perfect refreshing option for any day of the week! Sometimes we put it over some greens, other times we pile it on some salty crackers, and shoot, every now and then, we just eat it as is! Basic Chicken Salad gives us the options we need without too much of a hassle, which is why we think it's the best craving ever!
