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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
