2 cups shredded chicken (from half of a rotisserie chicken) OR2 (10 oz cans) salt-free white meat chicken, drained

3 celery stalks, chopped
3 Tbsp chopped unsalted, unoiled almonds (or any nut on sale)
Add ingredients into a large bowl and mix together.
Add dressing to salad, tossing to combine.
Get the Kids Involved: Kids can help crush the almonds! Just put in a sealed plastic bag and let them gently smash with a rolling pin or the back of a small pan.
Keep it Healthy: Seeds like hulled unsalted pumpkin seeds or unsalted sunflower seeds can be used instead of nuts in any recipe. They are just as nutritious!
Tips: Instead of celery, a 12-ounce package of shredded cabbage or shredded carrots can be used. Or, even a chopped cucumber! Just look at what is on sale and what you like to eat.
