This chicken salad is my health spin on a fast-food favorite chicken sandwich. Delicious any way you would like to eat it. Even with a side of waffle fries if you'd like.

Tips & Variations
- ✦2-3 hours is perfect for this chicken to marinate in pickle juice, any longer and the chicken could turn rubbery.
- ✦Greek yogurt keeps this light and protein-packed without sacrificing creaminess. Full-fat yogurt gives the richest texture.
- ✦Serve on a croissant, lettuce wrap, with crackers, or yes — alongside waffle fries for the full fast-food experience.
