A great thing about this recipe is that it is completely customizable based upon your preferences and what’s available during any given season. But you should try it this way first, because it is the best! Sweet apple, crunchy bell pepper, and chewy dried raisins — it’s so yummy and light! And that is how it should be, too.
Ingredient Notes For This Easy Chicken Salad Recipe:
- Apple – My all-time favorite apple is the Honeycrisp apple so that is what I use here. Feel free to use whatever you like though.
- Raisins – You can use raisins or cranberries here. Raisins are the healthier option, though, because they are not covered in inflammatory oils which is bad for the gut.
- Binder – Feel free to use either mayo or hummus. If you are interested, my recipe, The Best Classic Homemade Hummus is a great option.
- My favorite clean mayo is by Chosen Foods. It is made with 100% pure avocado oil and organic ingredients. The texture and taste is amazing, too! The best part is there are no added flavors or bad for you oils like a lot of common mayo brands on the shelf.
- A second runner-up mayo that I like is by Primal Kitchen. It is a clean brand as well. *(Both are great brands, but the Chosen Foods mayo is way less oily and the texture is spot on).
- How to Serve – You can serve it over a bed of mixed greens, on bread, in a pita pocket, in a wrap or with crackers. And to make it into more of a dainty appetizer, you can serve it on thinly sliced apple rounds. Delish!
