Anyone have a HEALTHY chicken Salad or egg salad recipe???

bump

Here's a simple, flavorful egg salad for sandwiches:


1 hard boiled egg, w/yolk
1/4 cup chopped sweet onion
2 tbsp Miracle Whip Light
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
approx 3/4 cup Baby Spinach ( use as a bed on the bread, or chopped up in a chopper and mixed in with remaining ingredients)
Ms Dash Table Blend to taste
garlic powder to taste
cayenne to taste

Nature's Own - 9-Grain 35 Calorie Bread, 2 slices to make the sandwich

I make it by mixing one 4.5-oz can Swanson chicken breast (shredded and drained) with 1 Tbls light mayo, 1 laughing cow light cheese wedge, 1/4-cup chopped green onions, and some garlic salt.

I usually spread it on one slice of light bread covered with 3 slices of Kraft 2% Cracker Barrel Sharp Cheddar Cheese Cuts (little pre-cut squares of cheese). I toast it for 2 or 3 minutes in my toaster oven. This makes a nice open-faced chicken salad melt.

My favorite by far is Tosca Reno's Clean Eating Egg Salad Recipe:

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup / 60 ml fat-free cottage cheese
• 1 Tbsp / 15 ml skim milk
• 1 tsp / 5 ml mustard
• 4 hardboiled egg whites, diced
• 1 hardboiled yolk
• 2 Tbsp / 30 ml chopped green onion
• 2 Tbsp / 30 ml chopped celery
• Dash curry powder
• 1/4 tsp / 1 ml sea salt

Preparation

1. Whip cottage cheese and milk until smooth in medium-sized mixing bowl.
2. Blend remaining ingredients except egg whites with cottage cheese mixture.
3. Add diced egg whites to cottage cheese mixture. Mix well.

Note: I never add the milk because I like the texture thicker -- like my original but "naughty" recipe.

Funny I had the same cravings so I came up with my own recipes, just switching things around to make them healthier. I don't know if they will every be classified as HEALTHY though.

My version of Egg Salad Wraps:

12 hard-boiled eggs (2 egg yolks removed)
1 T Miracle Whip
3 T French's Yellow Mustard
couple shakes of Curry Powder
6 drops Tabasco Sauce
~1/4 tsp garlic powder
salt & pepper, as desired

mix in (if desired): cucumber, celery, green onion, pickle/relish

Sorry I do not have nutrition info on this one. I do put them on lettuce instead of bread, they are sooo good.
