![Kid's Lunch - Apple Chicken Salad Bento](https://jdaniel4smom.com/wp-content/uploads/JDaniel4sMom_apple_chicken_salad.png)
Ingredients
1 large can of chicken
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 tablespoon of mayonnaise
1 teaspoon of dried onion
Salt and PepperDirections
- Stir all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Add a dash or two of salt and pepper. (JDaniel doesn’t link pepper so we left it out.)
- Refrigerate overnight.
- Serve with crackers or on a bed of lettuce.
The salad was really wonderful. I used gala and Granny Smith apples in the salad. They made it a little tart and a little sweet. We also added fresh sweet onions instead of dried onions to the salad. Oh! I added just a tad more mayonnaise to the recipe. It made it just a tiny bit more moist. If you prefer a drier chicken salad you may decide not to add the extra tad of mayonnaise.
JDaniel enjoyed the salad. I think if was the inclusion of crackers I added to his lunch that in encouraged him to try it. I love that he is willing to try new things like an apple chicken salad in his bento box.
What kinds of salads do you put in your kid’s lunch?

I love chicken salad!
I do like chicken salad but would have to eat my fruit separate.
The apple shaped cheese is the best. Is it strange that I find myself wanting to eat the lunches you create for JDaniel, and it’s not just about what I want to make for my daughter?
that sounds so good 🙂
THANKS
That looks delish for adults too!
So yummy looking. I love all sorts of chicken salads! We use apple and celery in ours.
Oh I can’t WAIT to try this! It looks easy AND delicious. Both of which I need right now… 😉
That sounds good!! I too am bad about fruit and am trying to incorporate it into our diet. The kids love it so it is just me.
This sounds very yummy even though in general I don’t like apples in my salad. My preference is anything that has olives and dried tomatoes – I love salt 🙂
I use apple in my chicken salad too. Yum!!
