No Mayo Chicken Salad
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!

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!0
