Healthy Chicken Salad for Fall

I am always looking for new ideas for school lunches. My kids buy their lunch at school from time to time, but we pack lunches a lot as well. While they are always happy to eat a PB&J or a ham and cheese, they do like a little variety.

Chicken salad is one of those fun foods that is completely open to adaptation. You can add in lots of goodies, or just keep it simple. I like to let my kids pick and choose what we add in, because not only is cooking together a fun bonding experience, it gives them a say in what they’re eating.

They like to get creative, which makes me happy when I see them trying new things. And like I said, chicken salad is a great “base” recipe to really make your own!

Tips & Tricks for the Best Chicken Salad

I like to start my chicken salad with a rotisserie chicken. It’s a great time saver and they taste great! Also, I ALWAYS use Hellmann’s Mayonnaise in my chicken salad. It’s a non-negotiable. It’s leaps and bounds better than any other mayonnaise. (FYI – Target is offering buy 2 Hellmann’s or Best Foods items for $7 right now AND Buy 3 Get One Free on Knorr® products. See below for more details!)

Also what I really love that we tried in this chicken salad is we mixed Knorr® French Onion recipe mix right into the mayo. I had the idea when we were pulling out ingredients and it just made perfect sense! There is so much flavor in those little packets, and flavoring your mayonnaise to mix in the chicken salad is a pretty genius idea if I do say so myself!

My kids loved the idea of adding “Fall” ingredients into the chicken salad like apples and dried cranberries. We also like our chicken salad with a nice crunch, so we threw in some zucchini and toasted walnuts.

We let our salad chill for about an hour, so all the flavors came together nicely.

Then, of course, we ate! Stuff it in a pita, eat it on a bed of lettuce…it’s up to you!
