Okay, so today I was really craving chicken salad but did not want all the extra fat and calories of mayo. I do not like the taste of light or fat-free mayo, so I came up with another alternative instead.

I took 1 wedge of light laughing cow swiss cheese (only 35 calories), put it in a bowl and microwaved it for about 20 seconds. It has the consistency of mayo when it's nuked!!! I added 1/4 cup canned chicken (packed), 1 tbsp. chopped walnuts, 1 tbsp. sweet pickle relish, a little salt & pepper and mixed it together and voila........a nice little lunch! Of course you could add whatever you like in it. It looks just like you used mayo and it's creamy too!

Next time I think I'm going to try putting in some raisins instead of the sweet pickle relish, yummmm.

Ever since I tried the low-carb diet and lost 145# I have to snicker at you who are cutting out all your taste and reliable energy sources by removing the fat. Even now that i am banded i will continue to follow the low-carb regimen as it works the best for me. if you don't like mayonnaise perhaps you will like Miracle Whip.

sounds yummy! thanks for sharing

I Love chicken salad and do it with the rottiserie chicken. I add grapes cut in half, walnuts, celery tiny bites & do half low fat mayo half plain greek yogurt..
