There are a large variety of chicken salad recipes. This one sounds tasty as well as healthy, with less mayonnaise than a lot of the recipes. I do not buy chicken salad from a deli or a restaurant because it is always saturated with way too much mayonnaise.

Chicken Salad

2 cups chopped cooked chicken from skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1/4 cup light mayonnaise

1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (or plain yogurt)

3 teaspoons curry powder

2 teaspoons grated lime peel (could substitute lemon peel)

1/4 cup fresh lime or lemon juice

2 cups chopped celery

1 cup chopped onion

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, curry powder, lime or lemon peel and lime or lemon juice. Mix well. This forms the dressing.

Stir in the chicken .

Hi Donna,

Thanks my Friend. Finally, now I have a really good homemade Chicken Salad recipe. I haven't been very happy with any that I've tried but this sounds delicious, and it seems remarkably easy to make. I agree with with your dislike for store bought Chicken Salad, not only because of the Mayo, but also for the Sugar and the Salt as well.

Here's a quick Whole Wheat Bread recipe if you're hankering for sandwiches,

or you can do it like I do, just a scoop of Chicken Salad, with a scoop of low-fat Cottage Cheese and some Fruit. Of course, I add my Nutty Crackers as well.

Have A Great Evening My Friend,

Phil

Hi Myrna,

I need to increase my intake of vegetables. I went to a nurse practitioner today for an infection and she said we should eat 9 servings of fruit and vegetables every day. She said half of your plate should have fruits/vegetables. I am afraid I have a long way to go to get that many in my diet daily!

Hi Phil,

I haven't used my bread machine in a long time. Your recipe will be a good one to try out. Hopefully my bread machine still works!
