I want to start making chicken salad wraps for my lunch at work. I like the sweet chicken salad though, with the fruit. Problem is grapes are too expensive and i can't afford that right now. Also, i need to know what kind of wrap to use bc the one i tried just fell to pieces. Anyone have a cheap recipe that has a sweet flavor not including grapes? I tried one this weekend, without a recipe...i didn't do a good job. Lol

Thanks!

    I use FLOUR tortillas. The others just fall apart. You can find them in Wheat, which is better for you. You can find them in the store brand, like Kroger, sometimes they have them on sale for $,1 if you find them 10 for $10.

    What you will need:

    For the salad:

    2 cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts (mine weighed a total of 1 pound,) chopped
    1/3 cup dried cranberries
    1/3 cup sliced almonds
    1/3 cup diced onions and diced celery (mixed)

    For the dressing:

    8 ounces plain, fat-free Greek yogurt
    1/2 teaspoon curry powder
    1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
    1 squeeze lemon juice
    salt and pepper to taste

    In a large bowl, mix chicken, cranberries, almonds, celery, and onion. In a separate small dish, prepare dressing by mixing yogurt, curry powder, soy sauce, lemon juice, and salt and pepper together. Combine dressing with the salad ingredients and mix well. Serve on your favorite bread, or on top of fresh greens!
