💡 Make it even lighter:
Use lettuce wraps or sandwich thins instead of croissants.
Go 100% Greek yogurt (skip mayo) for a high-protein twist.
Swap grapes for diced apple or leave them out for less sugar.
🧊 Storage Tips
Fridge: Store chicken salad in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Do not pre-assemble sandwiches if storing ahead—keep salad and bread separate to avoid sogginess.
Meal prep tip: Pack chicken salad in small containers with croissants or lettuce wraps on the side for an easy lunchbox option.
