How about an adorable little snack or lunch for you today?
Cucumber Chicken Salad Bites to be exact.
Cucumber Chicken Salad Bites would be perfect to make after school/work for a high protein, veggie filled snack, and they're a tasty light lunch.
They are based them off one of my favorite summer snacks that I made last year, Cucumber Hummus Cups.
These Cucumber Chicken Salad Bites incredibly easy to make. Just slice the cucumbers into about 1/4-inch thick slices and scoop out most of the seeds.
Then fill each slice with about one tablespoon of chicken salad per cucumber slice. {One medium cucumber makes about 8-10 slices}
That's it.
They seriously take less than 5 minutes to make.
I always keep my chicken salad in the fridge because it rocks. Any chicken salad will do, but I prefer making it myself.
I have lots of options: good old {fantastic} Chicken Salad, Curry Avocado Chicken Salad, Basil Balsamic Chicken Salad, Hummus Chicken Salad, Avocado Chicken Salad, Mexican Chicken Salsa Salad, and Buffalo Chicken Salad.
They'd also be a really nice appetizer at a bridesmaid luncheon or baby shower or even something you could bring for a gameday party.
I love them because they are full of protein but include a veggie and not a lot of unhealthy carbs. I feel like chicken salad is usually eaten with crackers or chips which usually offer no nutritional value, but not cucumbers! They have vitamins and are packed with water to keep you hydrated.
These are a win any way you look at it: taste, ease, and nutritional value. They get an A+ in every category!
