Almond Chicken Salad
Yes...I'm on a diet. I'm eating this for lunch as I type. I used regular versions of everything...not low sodium chicken or low fat Miracle Whip. The pineapple is packed in 100% juice. If you do use the 'diet' versions of any ingredients be sure to make the changes to the components below. This does not include the lettuce.
This makes 8 cups and a 1 cup serving gives you:
Cal 267 Fat 16 g
Chol 27 g Sodium 476.2 mg
Carbs 17.5 g Sugar 11.2 G
Fiber 3.1 g Protein 12.5 g
Toasted Almond Chicken Salad
