Strawberry Chicken Salad

I usually make this chicken salad recipe with apples, but did not have any, therefore, substituted the apples with strawberries. Strawberries are not quite sweet enough now due to the season, but in a few weeks they will be. By adding a little stevia, which I do even in my apple chicken salad recipe, it sweetens up just right. You can use this chicken salad atop a salad, in a sandwich, or on celery sticks or crackers for an appetizer. This recipe is gluten-free, sugar-free and low-cal if you use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. A mixture of both is great, too!
