Chicken Salad (w/fruit and nuts)
Ingredients:
4 cups cooked and shredded chicken (or 2 cans of chunk chicken breasts)
1 cup of red or green grapes cut in half (or diced apples)
1/4 cup onion finely chopped (or use 1/4 tsp. onion powder)
1-2 stalks of celery finely chopped
2 hard-boiled eggs chopped
1/2 cup chopped pecans (or nut of choice but it can be omitted)
3/4 cup of Mayo (or your choice of a creamy replacement like plain Greek yogurt)
2 Tbsp. plain Greek yogurt (see note below)
salt and white pepper to taste (or use 1 tsp. curry powder)
Directions:
If you are using canned chicken, drain and break up the chunks in a medium sized bowl. Cut grapes in half, and add to bowl. Chop onion and celery. Add in the bowl along with the remaining ingredients. Stir together and pour into another container with a lid. Let chill for a few hours if using this to make sandwiches or use right away if you want to eat it with lettuce as a salad. I love eating it on croissants.
Note: I’ve used Kraft Cole Slaw dressing or Sour Cream in place of the yogurt and it tasted just as good. If you choose to use the 3/4 cup of Yogurt then omit using the extra 2 Tbsp.
