I found this one on MFP a long time ago. It is AWESOME.
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 non-fat 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!
Because I'm awesome I put all of the ingredients in MFP.

I read on the thread about avocados that you can use an avocado in place of mayo.
I tried it with egg salad and it was delicious!!!0 -

I take a chicken salad to school every day, it's damn good! This is the recipe that comes to about 150 calories:
2 Grilled Chicken Tenderloins (cooked with about a tablespoon of Teriyaki sauce)
2 cups Lettuce
50g (about a quarter) Red Capsicum
2 or 3 large Radishes
1/2 cup (not sure in grams) Carrot
6 Snow Peas
I generally don't add dressing as I dont like it, but you could always add some 0 -
Weight Watchers Tex Mex Chicken Salad
SERIOUSLY AMAZING!!! I doubled the seasoning, though and also seasoned the chicken a little while cooking it.
1 1/4 pound(s) uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s)
1/2 cup(s) fat free mayonnaise
1/4 cup(s) fat free sour cream
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp chili powder
1 small sweet red pepper(s), chopped
1 small green pepper(s), chopped
2 medium uncooked scallion(s), sliced
15 1/4 oz canned yellow corn, drained and rinsed
1 cup(s) canned black beans, drained and rinsed
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Place chicken in a glass baking dish and bake until juices run clear, about 25 minutes. Chop into bite-size pieces; set aside. (Or save time by purchasing already cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast.)
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, cumin and chili powder.
Stir in chicken, peppers, scallions and corn; mix well. Gently fold in beans; cover and chill at least two hours. Yields about 1 cup per serving.

I love my grilled chicken salads now. And not too complicated. I do grilled chicken strips, mixed romaine lettuce, tomatoes, red onions (will never eat salad again without it), cucumbers, and my favorite, avocado. It's so delicious. And I sprinkle a little bit of salt and drizzle some extra virgin olive oil and wala, simple grilled chicken salad not to many calories. P.S. I buy the big Harvestland bag of pre-cooked grilled chicken strips at BJ's. Great buy for an easy healthy meal.0
