Chicken salad is one of those things that everyone has a recipe for, right? I love making it when the weather starts warming up, but I hate how heavy it is when it's loaded up with mayonnaise. I find making a blend of mayo and Greek yogurt really helps in lightening it up, and adding a pop of flavor as well. Adding cranberries, apples, and grapes adds a major crunch to the easy chicken salad lettuce wraps and it's seriously so tasty!

Now for our Easy Chicken Salad recipe! You can definitely add or leave out what you want when it comes to chicken salad, but this is my favorite way to make it! With the cranberries, apples, and grapes, it has a major crunch to the easy chicken salad lettuce wraps and it's seriously so tasty! It's also super simple to make shredded chicken in bulk by using the instant pot, here is how to do it!

Chicken salad is a great meal to make for new mom’s, to bring to a potluck, or to use for a meal-train. I love using this Copycat Fancy Nancy Chicken Salad Recipe as well! When I bring it to people, I always pack the chicken salad, some croissants, lettuce, and tomato slices. People LOVE it! The chicken salad will keep in the fridge for a week.

Can you freeze chicken salad?

I don’t recommend freezing chicken salad, however you can freeze shredded chicken to have on hand to use in this chicken salad! Having frozen chicken on hand is great because it’s versatile and can be used in so many recipes!

Need a side dish to go with this meal? These are great options to serve alongside the chicken salad:

  • Air Fryer Roasted Asparagus has only 2 ingredients and takes a fraction of the typical time, this will be your favorite way to cook asparagus from now on!
  • Air Fryer Tater Tots are a quick and convenient side to throw into the air fryer! They cook quickly and turn out perfectly crispy every time!
  • Pear Salad is a classic southern comfort food! These canned pears topped with mayonnaise, cheese, and a cherry will be a hit at the next potluck!

    Now this may be the way I can finally grow lettuce! I have a black thumb and our soil here is horrible. This may be the solution I need. Great chicken salad by the way

      You can really grow ANYTHING which is one thing that is so great about Root Farm! The other thing, you don't have to worry about your black thumbs (like me), because it's impossible to mess up! Definitely try it out!

      This weather is amazing, but I like that you can use the Root Farm year round and have fresh veggies regardless!
