Chicken Salad with Rice, Orange, and Snow Peas
This light chicken salad with rice, orange, and snow peas uses cider vinegar instead of mayo. It’s very refreshing with the fruit and a nice change from the usual potato or pasta salads.
You can change things up by substituting with the nut or seed of your choice (almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds) and also substitute the rice with wild rice, quinoa, or another grain.

Replace the salted peanuts
Replace the salted peanuts with pecans and/or sunflower seeds, unsalted. Add diced carrots and sweet onion. Cook the chicken in chicken broth w/lots of herbs and spices. Add dried cranberries and dark grapes instead of raisins. Just a thought. :)
