I love chicken salad in the summer. Here is my quick, throw-in-a-bowl healthy recipe that is super yummy. Thank you Sally (my sister in law) for getting me started on this delicious salad!
2 chicken breasts, boiled and cut into cubes
1/2 cup-3/4 cup of grapes cut in half.
1-1 1/2 stalk of celery, sliced
1 granny smith apple cut into chunks (or whatever apple you have on hand, but I like Granny's)
2 tbsp or so of green onion *optional
juice of 1/2 lemon (or 1 tsp of lemon juice)
a handful of chopped walnuts (or slivered almonds would work) *optional
a handful of raisins or dried cherry or dried cranberries *optional
2
heaping tbsp of PLAIN GREEK YOGURT OR FAGE...add more if too dry but
always start w/ less than you'd think, stir and then decide if you need
more or not.
A generous squirt of dijon mustard
Sea salt/Pepper to taste
1/2 tsp-1 tsp of curry...I'm always conservative but end up adding more at the end.
**If you love the mayo taste but wanna skip the fat, just add a heaping teaspoon for the best of both worlds.
Toss everything into a big bowl and stir. LET SIT FOR AT LEAST 3 HOURS, OVERNIGHT IS EVEN BETTER.
These
measurements are APPROXIMATE since I just toss it all in and call it a
day. I love serving this w/ Pita's or on whole wheat bread.
had this just the other day. always makes me think of you!!
