CARE Recipe: Blueberry Grape Chicken Salad

5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

This is another take on the popular CARE Orange and Grape Chicken Salad. With this version, I want to show you how easy it is to create a completely new taste with just a few substitutions. In this case, I change out oranges to take advantage of now in-season blueberries. I also switch to a low-fat mayo allowing me to add extra nutrition and crunch with the addition of walnuts.
