Chicken Veggie Chop Chop

IMG_2411This is my new go-to lunch.  A healthy version of the classic chicken salad sandwich…what more could you ask for?  The recipe is meant to be made in a vitamix which is super easy, but you can always hand chop. I try to make a large bowl of it at the start of the week so I always have a healthy lunch on hand.  You can spoon into lettuce cups, top gluten free toasted bread or fill a pita.  So delicious and so satisfying!
