Even though for the longest I thought salads were boring and tasteless mostly because they tasted healthy (lol), there was always one salad that never disappointed and I grew up continuing to eat which was Chicken Salad. This is quite surprising since as a child I never liked different foods to touch or be mixed together nor did I like similar entrees like potato salad… that’s a discussion for another day. But, there was always something about chicken salad whether it was toping buttery crackers or a flakey croissant, which makes having chicken salad in the summer (yes, with grapes and nuts!) has always been a pleasing classic for me.
As you may know by now being on this top 8 free journey things like mayo and nuts had to be dropped by the waste side however don’t fret this is nothing a few tweaks can’t fix and still provide those great flavors. So I will be sharing how I make my top 8 free chicken salads perfect for the summer! Your next summer tea bunch guests will not notice the lack of dairy and nuts!
