Swapping onions for raw shallots is not as easy because onions are more intense. When a recipe calls for raw shallot, you can swap it out for green or red onion, or soak a sliced white or yellow onion in ice water for 10 minutes to try to remove some of the strong flavor.Typically, chicken salad will be good for three or four days kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you see it changing color, it’s always best to toss it.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
