Lite and Healthy Strawberry Apple Chicken Salad

A good flavorful chicken salad is pretty much the best thing ever when the weather starts to get warmer aka ridiculously hot like it does in Arizona.

You don't have to use your oven to make it (especially if you use a rotisserie chicken), the food tastes refreshing and nourishing, and it's a good lite healthy meal that you can feel good eating.

I absolutely love the crunch from the apples and the almonds, the sweetness from the apples, and the flavor of the red onion and bell pepper in this tasty little salad.

This Strawberry Chicken Salad is way better than the typical normal chicken salad.

Make this for an easy meal or take it to a shindig.  You'll be happy you did!
