Chicken Salad Recipies



Recommended Posts

Chicken salad has become a huge staple of my diet since bread went out the window. I usually replace my mayo with half mayo half plain greek yogurt and sometimes cottage cheese just to cut the fat of full mayo. How do you make your chicken salad??

2 small cans of chicken or 1 large can, I use fresh chicken sometimes, light mayo, paprika, 2 chopped eggs, small jar of pimentos, salt and pepper to taste, and a little bit of sweet pickle relish if I feel like it. I use whole wheat ritzs.

I make my tuna and chicken salad the same way:

Can or pouch of chicken or tuna

Hard boiled eggs

Dab of mustard

1 wedge laughing cow light cheese (in place of mayo)

Salt and pepper or other seasonings

Sometimes I add dill pickle relish or chopped apples

I'm personally not a big chicken salad eater ( harder to eat than tuna) but I have the same recipe for both chicken and tuna salad and they are delicious.

Can of Tuna drained well. If you have a cat give them the Tuna Water ( in moderation) they love it!

1 largish Jalapeno pepper diced small remove seeds please

Red Pepper half a medium diced small

Red Onion (to taste) and again diced small I use about 4 Tablespoons or more

Chunky salsa 1 or two tablespoons

Olive Oil mayo 1 or 2 tablespoons

Lime juice just a little for flavor

Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper.

Chopped Cilantro

Mix all the ingredients except Cilantro and taste. Add more of what you think it needs then mix again.

Add chopped Cilantro right before serving and Viola! Mexican Tuna/Chicken salad. I used to eat this with Whole Wheat Pita when I still could but crackers or tortilla chips are delicious as well.

I make a simple curry chicken salad. I use boneless breasts that I roast and then shred. I add light mayo, curry powder to taste- a little goes a long way, but then again I like a lot of curry ;) - then slice grapes and salt and pepper. Sounds weird but I think it is delicious!

Oh, I never thought of curry. That's so good with chicken and will cover up for the nonfat mayo I hate. I thought we couldn't eat grapes because of the skin. You don't have a problem with them? I love grapes.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
