Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps

I'm on a salad kick, and Chicken Salad, is one of my favorites. The recipe is versatile. In the photo, I used celery, red onion, and apple. Lately, I swapped the celery for dried cherries. I think the cherry version is my favorite.

Not only are the ingredients versatile, but you can change how you serve it. Pictured, are Chicken Salad Wrap, and Chicken Salad Sandwich. Alternatively, you can roll into a pinwheel. Or scoop over salad greens. Whatever you choose, it is going to be delicious.
