Lightened Up Chicken Salad

I am a chicken salad freak. I love it. I always order it on menus, and some are better then others. I did perfect chicken salad back in the day.....but it was kind of filled with fat from the whipping cream I used as its creamy base. So not so good for my new lifestyle. Not horrible, but I can do better for right now.

I take a lot of time to cook things for my lunches. I have only eaten 1 frozen meal for lunch since starting WW, and it wasnt that good. I eat a lot of soups, which I promise to include once I make them again, and I make a lot of burritos with all sorts of ingredients. I think its important for me to take time to prepare my food and use good ingredients. If I am going to eat it, I want it to be something good......and good for me!

Here is what I came up with based on a Weight Watchers Recipe.
