PINEAPPLE CHICKEN SALAD SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

• Toasted Bread: Make a sandwich with your favorite bread, I prefer sourdough.
• Lettuce Wraps: Spoon into large lettuce leaves, like romaine or butter/bibb, for a low-carb option.
• On a salad: Place on top of a bed of mixed greens for a salad, I love an Arugula-Spinach mix.
• In a wrap or pita: Roll it in a tortilla or soft pita.
