Black Bean Chicken Salad Sandwich

Before I crafted my Chicken Salad Wraps recipe I had never had chicken salad in my life that I’m aware of.

This Black Bean Chicken Salad was crafted as a sandwich version to lower the sodium per serving from what was in the tortillas I used in the original version.
