Chicken Salad Sandwich with Bok Choy, Red Grapes and Walnuts
A perfect summer sandwich with tons of health benefits to boot. We like the added bok choy for a little crunch, red grapes for a hint of sweetness and walnuts for their many health benefits. Walnuts boast being the only nut that has large amounts of omega-3’s which helps to improve cholesterol levels and contains plenty of antioxidants that fights numerous diseases.
