I have made this chicken salad for years...countless baby showers, parties, and just for lazy Sundays when my husband requests :-). It is so easy and has that little "mmmmm, what is that I taste" factor which keeps people guessing. And, I even offer a vegan option :-).
I am happy to pass along my "secret" chicken salad...it is just between you & I, right?
Here's what you need:
3 Chicken Breasts (vegans use tofu of your choice)
2 Ribs of Celery (diced)
1 Apple (cubed) or Peach
1 cup grapes (halved)
1 box craisins
1 cup fat free Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 tablespoon low fat (and natural!) mayo
pinch of salt & pepper for taste
Grill chicken (mist with olive oil, salt, pepper) or boil chicken with 2-3 bay leaves. Once cooked & cooled, cube chicken. Add diced celery, apple, grapes, craisins.
In a small bowl mix all other ingredients. Fold dressing into chicken mixture. Cover & refrigerate. I love to serve this in lettuce wraps sprinkled with pistachios, or over a big green salad. My husband likes his between two slices of multi grain bread...your choice!
Vegan Dressing:
1/2 avocado
1/2 cup almond or soy milk
1/2 banana
1/4 cup tofu
1 Tablespoon vegan mayo
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
pinch of salt & pepper for taste
using a hand held mixer blend the above until creamy.
Enjoy!
