It’s apples vs. grapes. And, as far as chicken salad is concerned, apples prevail.

Here’s a recipe for chicken salad on pitas (which beat out regular ol’ slices of bread any day, obviously). The almonds are delicious in lieu of the standard cashews, but the tangy green apples in place of grapes make this recipe worth trying.

The chicken salad can easily be made in advance and kept in the refrigerator. For an even quicker meal, use canned chicken chunks. Also, toasting the pitas is a nice touch before loading them up with chicken salad and lettuce. Definitely a winner.
