• You can stuff pita pockets with this chicken salad, or serve on low-sodium crackers or toast. For a snack size, serve in small cups, or on a single cracker.
• EAS 100% Whey Protein Powder is a whey protein available in many stores such as Costco^® and Walmart^®. If unavailable in your area, ask your dietitian for recommendations on other protein powder brands.

Delicious recipe if eaten immediately. The dressing waters down after it sits....but it's still delicious! I even added more crunch and chopped some celery into it. Reminds me of a "spa" salad. Thank you!
