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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
