This summery take on traditional chicken salad is full of fruit and savory seasonings to enhance the flavor and keep the Weight Watcher points at bay.

Ingredients
- 2-12.5 oz cans white meat chicken in water drained and washed

- 2 teaspoons Lemon Pepper or Mrs. Dash
Instructions
- Drain and wash canned chicken.

- Drain pineapple and add to bowl with chicken.
- Slice grapes in half, add to bowl.
- Cut celery into small slices, add to bowl.
- Dice onion, if using, and add to bowl.
- If water or juice has gathered in bottom of the bowl, pour or drain before adding other ingredients.
- Add remaining ingredients to the bowl.
- Using a spoon, softly turn together until all ingredients are incorporated.

Notes
*Note that one serving is zero points, two servings are one point (purple plan). One serving is plenty with crackers or part of a salad plate. A typical sandwich would probably be two servings.
Variations that I love:
- fajita
- curry
- buffalo chicken
- traditional (aka, less fruity)
