    Rainbow Chicken Salad Recipe

    *Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2012. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

    I know we're all familiar with the term "Eat The Rainbow" when it comes to health and nutrition lately.

    That's not to say the other chicken salads aren't good, they are.  It's just that when you're looking for a little healthier alternative, you might want to give mine a try.

    Not to mention that it's lower in calories and fat than other chicken salads I've run across over the years.
