Recipe Kickoff

Welcome to my new blog! Let's kick this off with my current favorite recipe that I've been dying to share because I am obsessed with it! This salad is so filling, nutritious, and really low in calories. Plus the look, smell, texture, and (and most of all) taste, satisfies every one of my senses! I also love this recipe because it requires very few ingredients, all of which I usually have in my fridge/pantry.

 Start out by mixing the miracle whip with the chicken

 Then add your chopped celery and green onion

 Next comes the chopped apple and then I also splash the lime juice straight onto the apple. This helps keep the apple from turning brown too quickly and adds a nice fresh flavor too. 

Then mix it all together! I usually portion the salad into containers so I can just grab and eat.

However this salad deserves some glamour shots too!

 Chicken Celery Apply Salad

1 can (12.5oz) Chicken, drained

1Tbs miracle whip with olive oil (or any type of mayo you like)

3 green onions, chopped

5-6 Celery Stalks, chopped (about 3 cups)

1 Apple (any type), chopped

Dash Black Pepper

3 Tbs Sliced Almonds (one Tbs for each serving. I don't add the almonds until right before I am going to eat it, otherwise they can turn a little soggy sitting in the salad in the fridge) 

Mix and Enjoy!

Makes about three servings of 1 1/2 cups. (You could totally do 2 servings, I just find I can't finish the serving when it is divided up into two, filling I tell ya!)
