Take-out Tuesday, Blueberry Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps
This really is a “Take-out Tuesday,” a wrap made with a favorite chicken salad from a local cafe
One of my besties brought over some of our favorite chicken salad, which we enjoyed on fresh brioche buns
To my delight, she insisted that I keep the remaining chicken salad, which I quickly tucked into the fridge for later
I decided to add some blueberries and candied walnuts
Then I put it on a large romaine leaf to eat like a taco
Such an easy, light and healthy meal!
This is more of an idea than a recipe, but I made a printable version and added it to my master recipe list as a way of remembering to make this effortless meal

What a great twist!!
A perfect meal for the lazy days of summer Jenna and I love your flavorful additions with the blueberries and nuts! My mom turned us onto Chicken Salad Chick when we were visiting her in Atlanta. It originated in your neck of the woods or rather your football rival in Auburn :). Are you familiar with it? So many delicious chicken salad versions!
I haven’t tried Chicken Salad Chick, but I will definitely check it out, one just opened near me. Bring on those AU tigers, Bama is ready for them!
Jenna, I do love chicken salad, especially in the summer. Blueberries and candied walnuts are tasty additions to take-out!
What a delicious meal Jenna!. I hope you are doing well.
Thank you Sharon, things are settling down and we are getting back to our normal routines which feels so good…
So good to hear.
This looks really good. I might make this to take to the lake so we’ll have lunch when we arrive! I think I have everything except the deli salad and that’s easily remedied. Thanks for a great idea!
You are so welcome Jeanie!
This looks delish, Jenna. Thanks for sharing. I hope you are doing OK. You and your family are still in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you Rosie, our friends have been unbelievable, we are very blessed and grateful
Sounds good to me! Lettuce wrap instead of bread, great tip for those of us who are trying to cut back a bit on carbs. Thanks!
thanks Cyndi, it was really good, I didn’t miss the bread at all~
I love chicken salad Jenna and in fact I made a stuffed tomato chicken salad just yesterday. I will try your recipe with blueberries. Yummy
thank you Kari, yours sounds good too!
Yum! 👍 I like your additions to the purchased product! I have a tuna salad recipe that I like to make and it would be good on lettuce wraps too.
good idea!
I like your idea of adding blueberries, Jenna, to the chicken salad. I always add dried Montmorency cherries. I need to buy some of those candied walnuts from TJ’s. You have some great friends!
thanks Kitty, yes I do, they are taking great care of me…
Something to keep in mind for when my son’s blueberries are in season next year:@)
Oh, this looks so good. I’m trying to eat a little better, and this looks like it would fit that bill exactly and still be delicious!
I love the addition of the blueberries to your chicken salad, what a great idea! Hope you are having a great week and thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday!
