Crisp Gala apple and crunchy celery give this nutrient-rich salad an extra dimension of tantalizing texture and color. An excellent source of vitamin C, celery helps strengthen the immune system.

This was pretty good and a good way to used leftover chicken and rice. Good for lunch the next day.

So easy! Makes a perfect lunch! I used greek yogurt, and golden raisins... works perfectly, reduces the sugar content, and increases the protien.

This dish was so filling. The bits of apple and chicken with bursts of tartness from the craisins was superb. I did use the lettuce as wraps. I would make this again for a picnic. I used basmati brown and wild rice which was delicious in this dish. Very easy to make!
