i want it healthy, delicious, and preferrably easy :-) i happen to have plain greek yogurt and not mayo in my house, but im not sure if i could tolerate it (I only like flavored greek yogurts- my hubby uses the plainone in his shakes)- but i could always get some light mayo. i know almonds, fruit and celery are good add ins, but what spices are the best?!

any ideas?

    I've made a delicious one before. The link is below - I added some granny smith apple and served it in a whole wheat pita. It was great!

    This is from hungry girl haven't tried it yet but here you go :)

    Ingredients:
    1 cup (about 4.5 oz.) cooked & roughly chopped skinless lean chicken breast
    1/2 cup chopped Persian or Kirby cucumber**
    1/3 cup red seedless grapes, halved
    1/3 cup chopped apple
    1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
    2 tbsp. fat-free mayonnaise
    1 no-calorie sweetener packet (like Splenda)
    1/4 tsp. lemon pepper seasoning
    dash salt

    Directions:
    Mix together the yogurt, mayonnaise, sweetener, lemon pepper seasoning, and salt. Coat the chicken in this mixture, and then stir in the chopped cucumber, grape halves, and chopped apple. Then try not to pass out as you chow down on this insanely good chicken salad! MAKES 2 SERVINGS

    HG Tip! If cooking your chicken from scratch, use nonstick spray (not oil) to keep the fat count down.

    **These short, sweet cucumbers rule in this recipe! But if you can’t find ‘em, any cucumber will do.
