Countdown to Summer with Udi’s®! Chicken Salad Recipes Featuring Udi’s® Gluten Free Bread!

I admit it, I was late to the gluten free wagon. I had never (knowingly) tried a gluten free product. I didn’t even know what it meant, really. Then, my brother in law was found to be gluten intolerant, and suddenly family gatherings at my sister’s house became a gluten free food festival. My sister had to learn how to cook for her family in a pinch, and luckily for me, she was happy to share some gluten free recipes with me.

In the summertime, we are avid sandwich eaters. Anything I can quickly whip up and put into a bun, the better. Here are two delicious Gluten Free recipes for Chicken Salad!

Now, I know what you are asking – If this is for a gluten free sandwich, What do I put this delicious chicken salad on?

Udi’s® Gluten Free Bread

Have you tried Udi’s® Gluten Free Bread yet? I hadn’t – until my sister served me some of this delicious chicken salad to me on their whole wheat hamburger buns! I was surprised at how flavorful the bread was, and for a gluten free bread the texture isn’t too far off from regular bread – and more surprising? My 6 year old niece didn’t even mind the switch to Udi’s either! I definitely recommend Udi’s gluten free bread products for anyone wanting or having to make the switch to gluten free sandwich making!
