Creamy Spinach Chicken Salad



Recommended Posts

GEORGIA girl

This is awesome I am making it alot and even my youngest loves it.

Now I hate spinach but heard so much about this I thought I would give it a try. Thumbs up it is fabulous and low carb and low cal...

I'm really glad you like it. I just started eating low carb again and I love the fact that is low calorie AND low carb. I made a turkey wrap with the spinach dip and half of a low carb tortilla yesterday and it was very good. Good luck to you!

Another new (to me) use for it...I spooned it over a salmon steak - added colour to the presentation, and a different taste (pumped up with lemon juice)

We were in Sam's and they made chicken salad with reduced fat and ff ranch dressing (just enough to moisten the chicken) then added some fresh cracked black pepper. It was delicious! I haven't been banded yet but I'm trying to come up with some recipes and I think this one and the spinach dip one will be useful.

For a low calorie, low fat dish my whole family loves is canned chicken with its broth, ff cream of chicken Soup, and drained mixed veggies. It makes a great chicken pot pie dinner. I put biscuits on theirs and eat mine without the biscuits. It's soft and very comforting. Will something like this work with the band for regular food?

I don't know how I come up with some of this stuff, lol! I guess I'm just always looking for easy, practical things to do that's different. I'm crazy about spinach dips (with chips :frown:) and I was trying to find a way to enjoy the taste of it (and make it filling), without the carbs.

I never really got into canned chicken pre-band, but I just love it now. It's tasty and tender enough to go down well. I am always trying new things with canned chicken. The same ol' chicken salad gets boring to me.

Onions, celery, or whatever you like in chicken salad could be added to bump up the flavor even more too! I added some chopped walnuts to mine the other day, and it was delicious! My recipes are hardly ever the same from one time to the next, lol!

Hee hee! We all love to eat! That's we're we all get most of our recipes LOL!!! :thumbs_up: TFS!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
