Why will you like this recipe?
- The crunch of the apple with the rest of the ingredients seems spectacular to me.
- Versatile recipe, you can make it with bonito, tuna, sardines, turkey, sweet ham,..
- An easy way to increase protein and eat less boring vegetables.
- It is kept in the fridge for a couple of days thanks to the lemon which prevents the apple from burning.
- Complete single dish (if you wish)
- It will fly, if you have guests make lots of it!!
Suggestions for serving it:
I love it with rice, lettuce wraps, in gazpacho, in fajitas or tacos,...or as a complement to a lettuce salad. Just add a little olive oil, or extra lemon juice or a good vinegar on top.
TIPS/NOTES
- Chicken: You can use any cooked chicken breast or thigh.
- Where are the grapes? I took them out for texture reasons if you take the tupperware or do like me and prepare it first thing in the morning when I have people over for lunch. If you prepare it on the spot, you can obviously add or change the apple for grapes.
- Mayonnaise: I used homemade but you can buy a good quality one or a light one.
- Gluten: the ingredients are naturally gluten-free.

We love this with toast, with rice or quinoa, in gazpacho, in lettuce wraps, burritos or in a good salad.
