This clean eating chicken salad recipe is specifically designed to help you win the fight against toxins. If you’re feeling a bit more sluggish than usual lately, you might be losing this battle. Toxins are everywhere – they’re in the air we breathe and the food we eat. These unhealthy toxins want to keep your body from being at peak performance.

The best way to ensure that your body stays healthy and strong? Avoid unnatural processed foods. Incorporating a diet that’s high in nutrition and low in processed ingredients will help you achieve that goal. This clean eating chicken salad is filled with simple but healthy ingredients, making it perfect for those on a clean-eating diet or those just looking to focus more on nutrition.

That’s why we skip the mayonnaise (which, in addition to being full of saturated fats, sometimes has MSG and other chemical additions). We swapped in healthy Greek yogurt to give your body a boost of much-needed probiotics. Combine that with the protein-packed chicken and nutrient-dense celery, onions, and grapes to create the perfect filling for those whole-wheat pitas.

There you have it – the only chicken salad recipe you’ll ever need! If you’re trying to cut back on carbs, serve this tasty, clean eating chicken salad on a bed of lettuce. It’s also great rolled up in chard leaves, which make a great gluten-free tortilla replacement.

2 celery stalks, chopped
1/4 red onion, chopped
