    There is a recipe posted on here that I absolutely love! It's called No Mayo Chicken Salad made with Greek Yogurt.

    I like to use rotisserie chicken-dicing up mostly just the white meat. I add, 1/2 cup to 1 cup of halved red grapes, 1 cup of celery, and 1/2 cup green onions. The dressing is 1/2 cup light mayo (you could go with less probably) mixed with 3 TBS rice vinegar. The vinegar gives it a nice kick. You could add walnuts too, I just usually don't. I haven't tried making it using greek yogurt, but I don't see why you couldn't. I will probably try it that way next time I make it.

    Dijon Vinaigrette off of Skinny Taste. It's tangy and absolutely delicious.

    *1 tsp Dijon Mustard
    *1 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
    *1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (cut in half for even lower calories)
    *pinch of parsley (dried or fresh)

    It's good warmed or chilled and should add lots of flavor :)

    I just plugged this into the recipe calculator:

    375g (about 2 1/2 cups) diced boneless skinless chicken breasts
    170g (about 1 cup) finely chopped celery
    150g (about 1 cup) seedless red grapes, halved
    100g (about 1 small) minced onion
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    1/2 cup Lite Miracle Whip

    It makes 5 servings and for 189 calories per serving I would call it low calorie. Good luck!

    Yes! I do this, or with leftover chicken breasts from supper, and add in a few apples as well. Sometimes, I add in a splash of apple cider vinegar or a Splenda packet if it needs more flavor. YUMMY! The key is to find another yummy bread or pita besides the typical crescent rolls...those will kill ya! LOL

    I mix nearly 50/50 mayo and lemon juice. Then mix in green grapes. It cuts the calories and adds a tangy/sweet compliment. Always gets rave reviews.

    Guess I should add that I also use celery, red onion and salt and pepper.

    When I make chicken salad, I use mustard, horseradish, celery, capers, sometimes pickles, shredded carrot, and dill. Sometimes I add just a little (one or two tablespoons) or mayo or sour cream. I also sometimes also mash up avocado in lime juice and make a creamy paste to base the salad in.

    It's super flavorful and pretty low-cal.
