Spring is in the air! And I have just the perfect light and refreshing recipe that can be made in minutes and won't make you break a sweat in the kitchen as the temps rise outside! Not to mention, it's a healthier version of traditional Chicken Salad that the whole family will love (and not miss the Mayo)!
This week's Meal Makeover: Clean Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad

Simple as that!
