Chicken Salad Made With Little Green Apples

“Little Green Apples”
.
Do you remember that song?  According to Wikipedia, “Little Green Apples” is a song that was originally written for and released by American recording artist Roger Miller in 1968.
.
It had since been re-recorded by several artist includingBloodstone, but it’s a classic nevertheless.

Spring has officially sprung and there is more sunlight during the day, so my grocery food choices have also lightened up.  While shopping for the ingredients to make a light and tasty Chicken Salad, I knew that wanted to add something that would give it a little crunch. . 
After seeing a beautiful display of juicy green apples I knew they would be a perfect choice.

.
It’s been a long winter filled with lots of Crock Pot Meals and comfort foods so it’s time to lighten up the dinner menu.  For this mid-week meal, I used lettuce leaves instead of bread to save a few calories.
