Lunch can mean some unhealthy options.  But it doesn’t have to be.  This easy almond chicken salad is just that – easy.  And it’s so good that you can eat it on it’s own or with an English muffin.  If you can mix a few ingredients up in a bowl, you can make this chicken salad.

Almond Chicken Salad

I think lunch can be one of the most challenging meals of the day, especially if you are out and about.  No matter how much I meal plan, I too struggle with lunches.  Despite the fact that my office has an amazing cafeteria where I could get virtually anything I could think of or possibly want.  So, you can imagine how hard it can be to find something to eat each afternoon, especially something healthy.

While there are plenty of healthy options at my office cafeteria, the temptation for bad foods is real.  I have to keep my blinders on when I’m walking around the cafeteria.  They have specials each day including Wing Wednesday, which is so hard to walk away from…let me tell you.

Almond Chicken Salad

To help me from going completely off track during lunch, I have started to make my own.  And this easy almond chicken salad is a perfect lunch meal – you want to know why?  It doesn’t require any cooking.  If you can mix a few things in a bowl together, you can make this chicken salad.  This allows me to enjoy my lunch, but to eat something healthy and not be tempted by the amazing options I have in the cafeteria.  If I can say no to certain things during lunch, you definitely can!
