This chicken salad from Hector Saldivar, founder and owner of Tia Lupita Foods, is made with a kick. 

"The recipe was inspired by my wife Amy. She was trying to find an easy, healthy recipe that would be an option for anyone at the party or on game day. This super-fast chicken salad recipe will keep the pickiest eater happy," Saldivar tells Fox News. "The beauty of this recipe is that it works on a slider bun, croissant, on a cracker, or in a warmed-up Tia Lupita Cactus Tortilla, taco style." 

3-INGREDIENT SAUSAGE DIP IS THE EASY, DELICIOUS APP YOU NEVER KNEW YOU NEEDED

If you’re not a fan of heat, consider making two batches of chicken salad, suggests Saldivar, with one "for the daintier palettes." You can also add a bit more hot sauce than what the recipe calls for if you’re "feeding those who are not afraid to have their lower eyelids sweat a bit," he says.
