Recipe: No-Cook High-Protein Mexican Chicken Salad
Crackers gets a bad rap because well, they’re carbs, and somewhere along the way, the health police made it seem like cutting carbs was the best way to lose weight… FALSE
These crackers are some of my FAVORITE, because of their high fiber content & because the crunch is so freaking satisfying: Mary’s Gone Crackers.
So what do crackers go great with? Chicken salad.
And chicken salad doesn’t have to be heavy and high in fat - swapping out greek yogurt for the mayo is a GAME CHANGER!
This meal is PACKED with protein and fiber.
Healthy in my book means this:
A food that helps YOU work towards:
- feeling good in your skin
- meeting your body’s macronutrient needs (= energy)
- leaving your meal emotionally and physically satisfied

Optional: add diced jalapeños & a splash of lime juice
✨Instructions:
Mix it all together (that’s it 😂)
(+ I’ll add that I like to drain the canned chicken to get rid of the extra liquid 😅 and you could sub that for 8 oz of cooked chicken from leftovers or rotisserie chicken!)
