Okay, so I LOVE chicken salad. I try my best not to eat it due to the mounds of mayo and fat. I've even tried the low-fat mayo, but it's still not good for you. Yesterday I came across a no mayo recipe and was very skeptical. I had chicken in the fridge that had to be cooked so I tried it out. It was freaking amazing. I served mine on a whole wheat tortilla.


serves 3 (makes ~3 cups)

1 large chicken breast, cooked, cooled, and chopped

1/2 cup plain greek yogurt

2 Tbsp dijon mustard

1/2 lemon, juice

1/8 tsp dried dill weed

1 stick celery, diced

4 celery leaves (from the top of your celery stick), minced

2 Tbsp red onion, diced

1/2 cup apple, cut into chunks

1 heaping Tbsp raisins

6 walnuts, roughly chopped

8 grapes, sliced in half

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. And done.

Be sure to let your chicken cool before mixing it all together. Enjoy! <3

    Great recipe. I love chicken salad, but usually shy away from ordering it since it's always loaded with mayo. I just need to make a quick trip to the store for more dill and I can make it tonight! Also, thanks for the line to the website for other great recipes!

    Okay, I'm going to show my age when I ask this question. I see many "bump" replies to postings. What does "bump" mean? Please enlighten this soon to be 50-year-old!
