Apple Tomato Chicken Salad, Sweet & Tasty

Hi, it's Lois at Recipe Idea Shop, telling you about my Apple Tomato Chicken Salad recipe. You can never have too many kinds of chicken salad in my humble opinion. We always have plenty of canned chicken on hand, so it's a perfect quick meal.

Modify Basic Chicken Salad

For this one, I take my Basic Chicken Salad and add apples and tomatoes. Then I serve it over a nice bed of mixed lettuces, including kale, spinach, and romaine. You can use any greens you like, or make a sandwich out of it. The apples provide a bit of sweetness and the tomatoes provide color and vitamin C. If you read the nutrition label, you'll see it's a healthy bit of protein and vitamins.

A Favorite Salad or Sandwich

One of Don's favorite lunches is chicken salad. He often orders it in restaurants for lunch to see how good their food is. It's the item that determines whether he will return to the restaurant.

His go-to evening, tell-tale meal, on the other hand, is Eggplant Parmesan. If a restaurant offers it, he will order it the first time he's there. If it's good, he will be back; if not, he crosses the restaurant off his list.

Note that I prefer Miracle Whip Salad Dressing as I think it has more flavor than mayonnaise. If you prefer mayonnaise, use it instead. It adds about 20 calories per serving to the recipe. Either way, you're gonna wanna eat this.

TOOLS FOR A WELL-EQUIPPED KITCHEN

Every kitchen should have the very best tools you can afford. At the least, buy yourself a good set of pans, a slow cooker, an Instant Pot, measuring cups and spoons, and the best set of chef's knives you can afford. Also be sure to get a full sized food processor and a mini food processor. These tools are essential for any well-equipped kitchen!
