(Healthy!) Chicken Salad

So here it is. Chicken Salad-quick, easy, delicious, oh and good for you!

This recipe is a must try. It is creamy but low-fat. It makes a great snack, lunch, or appetizer. Serve it with crackers, bread, veggies, or just by itself!

Healthy Chicken Salad:

1/4 red onion, diced

1 cup grapes, halved

1/2 green bell pepper, diced

 2 cans white meat chicken

1/3 cup pecans, chopped

 

1 heaping Tbsp celery salt

salt/pepper, to taste

1/2-3/4 cup plain, non-fat Greek* yogurt

1) drain and rinse chicken. Mix all ingredients (except for yogurt) together. Once everything is evenly distributed, mix in yogurt. 

2) chill before serving. enjoy!

*regular yogurt can be used, but it isn’t as thick as Greek. Also, using Greek yogurt adds more protein.

Green Apple Salsa

I love salsa. I put it on everything. Eggs, chicken, salad….

This recipe uses fresh, summer vegetables. It is the perfect combo of sweet (from the apple) and spicy (from the jalapeno). Of course, if you are partial to mild salsa, leave out the jalapeno. It is still just as good.

Chunky Green Apple Salsa

3 perfectly ripe tomatoes

2 Granny Smith apples

½ cucumber

½ green bell pepper

½ red onion

½ cup green onions

1 handful of cilantro

1 jalapeno (add in the seeds if you like hot hot salsa!)

Juice from 2 limes

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Salt, pepper, to taste

1) Chop all veggies into small pieces. Roughly chop cilantro. Gently mix all ingredients in a bowl. Let chill a few hours before serving.

-if you don’t like chunky salsa, give it a quick whirr in the blender.
