Curried Chicken Salad

lotusfromthemud

This is not the low calorie version, but I'm sure you could reduce everything dramatically if you changed to lowfat mayo, or left the walnuts out, etc.

Very tasty and filling. Makes two generous servings.

2 boneless skinless cooked chicken breasts, cooled and chopped
2 large stalks celery, chopped
1 medium tart apple, chopped
1 scallion, chopped
2 tbs walnuts, chopped
2 tbs mayonnaise
1 tsp lemon juice (I use about one whole lemons worth, which I think is more)
curry powder to taste (I use around a teaspoon, but you may want to use half a teaspoon and then increase to taste.

Mix mayo, lemon juice and curry powder in a small bowl. Combine other ingredients in a large bowl, toss and chill for at least two hours (I prefer overnight)

The numbers:
355 calories

223 mg sodium
755 mg potassium

This was delicious! I substituted 1 T nonfat yogurt + 1 T lowfat mayo for the other mayo, and had to use cayenne pepper instead of curry...and it was still quite good and definitely filling.

(course I couldn't wait for it to marinate overnight -- I just scarfed down a bit and put the rest in the fridge)
