Try using fat free yogurt, just a little mayo (light if you like it okay), salt, pepper, celery, onion, and some curry powder. It's great in a pita with some lettuce. Mmmm... Or just try that base and change it up with different spices...maybe with some chili powder and cayenne for a little mex style.

I just made some on Saturday. I used 3 cups of chicken, 1/2 cup celery/apples/grapes and then 1/2 cup mayo (ff) and 1/2 plain yogurt then salt and pepper. It was great and made about 6 servings.

I know that instead of mayo you could substitute plain or vanilla yogurt. Also maybe add some pecans or walnuts!
