Last year, my favorite strawberry recipe was a no-bake strawberry cheesecake. Since I made a dessert with the fresh berries back then, I thought I’d switch things up this year and make a healthy entree instead. This chicken salad is low carb, gluten-free, and packed with protein, but it’s incredibly delicious, too.

This chicken salad was a part of my Kohl’s healthy #MakeYourMove initiative, one that also gave me the perfect excuse to use these elegant wooden bowls I picked up at Kohl’s. Not that I’d ever need an arm-twisting to find an opportunity to pull out some unique dinnerware.

      Hi Sandi,
      Because ingredients can vary in nutritional counts, we suggest using a nutritional calculator to determine the information yourself. Sites such as SparkRecipe, LoseIt, and even Atkins have nutritional calculators.

    I have always found fruit and meat a weird combo, but this actually looks incredibly awesome!

      Hi Gigi, It may sound strange, but adding fruit to protein (and especially chicken) helps your process the protein more efficiently and it gives a great flavor as well. I hope you try it and enjoy it!
