Every time I am in the grocery store and pass by that section of the deli with salads I have to grab some. And take it home to eat right out of the container with a fork. No shame!
But guess what, that deli chicken salad is so bad for you. Shocker right??? They use dressings and mayo and all sorts of yucky ingredients that taste good, but go straight to those problem areas that you work SO HARD to get rid of. (hello love handles)
Well today I went to the store in search of CLEAN chicken salad to satisfy my craving but less guilty.
Here it is!
Ingredients:
- 1 can of organic chopped chicken (or you can cook your own chicken and shred, be sure to use SALT FREE seasonings)
- dash of garlic powder
- dash of Himalayan salt
- 1/3 cup of Greek Yogurt (0% Fage)
- lemon juice from 1/2 a lemon
- optional crushed walnuts
- optional chopped avocado (pictured)
- steamed bib lettuce (or boc choy)
Directions:
- in a small sauce pan, boil about 2 cups of water, enough to steam the lettuce
- add in lettuce and let steam down until soft, drain
- mix all other ingredients together in a bowl, add in the lettuce and stir
- top with avocado
- place in fridge to cool, then serve
Hope you enjoy it!
My kids ate it for lunch today wrapped inside wheat pitas with a little feta cheese!
Makes a good DIP for crackers too!
