can you use lemon juice instead of lime juice
Decided to try this as a way to get out of the boring lunch time rut I’ve been in trying to plan good meals for work. I have it sitting in my fridge ready to make sandwiches tomorrow. I opted for croissants as my device of choice for the chicken salad. But I have to say on first taste it’s a little too salty. Hopefully I just need to give it a bit better mixing tomorrow morning. Definitely consider cutting the salt to 1/4 teaspoon instead of a 1/2.
I’m always looking for new chicken salad recipes and this one has my mouth watering. I used my last avocado for the Fathers Day Taco salad on Sunday and so when we shop later this week we will stock up again. One of the grocery stores has had large ones 5 for $5 on the Friday sales and we grab 10 to 15 and put in green bags/boxes and are good for a couple weeks if last that long here. ha We make all your recipes and love them.
Yum, can`t wait to try it next weekend, love and appreciate all the comments too.. I will probably add more cilantro, garlic, celery and onion because we love crunch and those flavors! Love your site and appreciate your postings! It’s a lot of work… you are appreciated!
Tried this out today… LOVED it! It’s super light and especially good in the pita bread. For the shredded chicken, I grilled some chicken breast with lemon, garlic and pepper. Tastes amazing. I would highly recommend when looking for a healthy lunch box sandwich.
