Chicken salad is a fan favorite lunch option, for many reasons. It’s a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it’s also super easy to put together. But, the same combo of mayo, celery, and onion can get boring after a while.
That’s where recipes like this come in. It’s just as easy as the traditional kind but gets a punch of flavor from mustard and sweetness from Yucatan Honey. Some sunflower seeds and cranberries add texture and a bit of tartness to balance it out.
For seasoning, I mixed in some Colima Sea Salt since this doesn’t really need a lot of additional seasoning. Turned out perfect.
It’s also less mayo-heavy, which for a lot of people (me!) is a deal-breaker for composed salads like this. It’s perfect for a sandwich, over some greens, or just eaten on its own when you want a quick lunch.
