FAQ
Can I use something other than mayonnaise?
The best substitute is Greek Yogurt. To make it lighter but still flavourful, I recommend a 50:50 mix of Greek Yogurt and Mayonnaise. Another great alternative is sour cream or even hummus.
I don't have cranberries, what can I use instead?
Red Grapes!
How far in advance can I make this Chicken Salad?
If stored in the fridge in an airtight container, this salad will keep for up to 5 days.
Other protein option?
Tuna or turkey

Instructions
Chicken
- If you are cooking your chicken: Season the breasts and pan fry until cooked through. Once cooked shred or finely chop the chicken. Set aside in the fridge to cool.
Salad
- Wash and chop the apple. Toss in lemon juice in a large salad bowl. Now wash and chop the celery. I like to slice the ribs of celery length wise 2-3 times before chopping. The smaller the pieces are of each ingredient, the tastier the wraps will be as you will get a bit of each ingredient in every bite this way.Add Celery to the bowl with the apples.
- Chop the pecans and cranberries together and to the salad bowl.
- Add the mayonnaise and salt and pepper and chicken. Stir to coat everything evenly.
Assemble
- Layout the tortillas.
- Evenly divide the spinach onto each wrap and then evenly divide the chicken sald mixture.
- Roll the wrap up, cut in half and enjoy!
