FAQ
-
Can I use mayonnaise instead of Greek yogurt?

What other vegetables can I add to the chicken salad?
Feel free to add other vegetables like chopped cucumber, bell peppers, or grapes for added flavor and nutrients. -
Can I prepare the chicken salad in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the chicken salad up to a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Assemble the wraps just before serving to prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.
