Creamy Chicken Salad Recipe

So I posted the following pic on my Facebook page and Instagram...



...and got numerous requests for the recipe and so I wanted to share it here for all of you to save, pin, and make! It's delicious! If you want to purchase the cookbook "Fixate" by Autumn Calabrese (where this recipe is from) then CLICK HERE and get it without containers or if you need a set, click here instead! You won't regret it and all of your container equivalents are written out for each recipe.
