Summertime is the perfect time for easy to mix chicken salads. It’s my go to on a hot sunny day. The best parts about recipes like this are that you can totally pack it up and take it to the beach or park for a picnic.  I originally saw this recipe on my favorite gal’s show, Ina Garten but decided it needed a few personal touches. Plus I didn’t have everything on hand (which is the best part of making a good recipe, you can make it your own with what you have) so I tweaked the recipe a bit to come up with what I have now!

Looking for a summer salad? Pin it to save!

Whether you are wanting this on bread, a wrap, or on it’s own, this salad is a great lunchtime meal. It uses simple ingredients and can be stored for up to a week. This summer chicken salad is a perfect recipe to be shared with friends or lunches for the week. But seriously you don’t really have to have this during the summer only. :]
