Chicken Salad Lunchbox

Serving Size

2

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp pepper (or to taste)
  • 4 tbsp celery, minced
  • 3 tbsp dried cranberries
  • 6 leaves butter lettuce
  • 2 oranges
  • 2 cheese sticks

Directions

  • Prepare the chicken salad: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pepper, minced celery, and dried cranberries. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed and creamy.
  • Assemble the lunchbox: Place three butter lettuce leaves on each plate. Spoon the chicken salad mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf, making a wrap or mini "sandwich."
  • Prepare the sides: Slice the cucumber and arrange the slices around the chicken salad wraps. Peel and segment the oranges, serving them as a fresh and juicy side.
  • Add cheese: Serve with one cheese stick per serving, placing it alongside the lettuce wraps and fruit.
  • Serve: Enjoy the salad as a light and nutritious lunch, or pack it into lunchboxes for a quick, satisfying meal.

Notes

No Chicken: Substitute with tuna or egg salad for a different protein option. Leftovers: Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, though the lettuce is best fresh. Protein content: ~ 29 g per serving
