Notes

  • This can be stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to five days.
  • You can use fresh apricots if you prefer! I recommend peeling them, and eating the chicken salad immediately, since they will get more soggy the longer they sit.
  • You can also use other dried fruits in this- such as cranberries or dates or figs.
  • Instead of sunflower seeds, you can use almonds, pecans, or walnuts.
  • Try subbing Greek yogurt or sour cream for the mayonnaise if you don't like mayo.
  • The provided nutrition information does not include any added sodium from seasoning to taste, any optional ingredients, and it does not take brands into account. Feel free to calculate it yourself using this calculator or by adding the recipe to Yummly.
