Yum-O!

Who doesn’t love a delicious creamy chicken salad? How about if it’s made without mayo, even better right? Don’t get me wrong I LOVE mayo, unfortunately I LOVE mayonnaise TOO much and I really have to watch how much I use. Making it without mayo and a healthier substitute allows me to use more in this recipe than I would if made with mayo. Win, win don’t you think?

 

 

Adding some really good seasoning and a tiny amount of extra virgin olive oil really make this a success! Having already cooked chicken breast in your freezer also makes this a pretty fast recipe.

If you decide you aren’t crazy about raw peppers, place it in a scooped out tomato instead. Feel like having it in bread? Sure but make a healthy whole grain choice. Have you seen my video all about finding Healthy Breads? Just because it says whole wheat on the front of the package does not constitute a healthy bread! Don’t be fooled!

 

 

Greek yogurt is the star in this recipe. I use it for MANY reasons and many recipes. It is so versatile! To learn more about making a healthy choice on Greek yogurts you can check out this post.

 

 

C’mon……tell me you don’t want to take a nice crunchy bite into that!!!
