Chicken Salad with Yogurt

Hello, and welcome to the Fisher Recipe Hotline. Today I tried my hand at a healthy version of chicken salad made with yogurt instead of mayo. So the first photo is a visual ingredients list. It includes yogurt (duh!), grilled chicken, cucumber, a gala apple, honey, celery, balsamic vinegar salad dressing, green leaf lettuce, walnuts and raspberries.




So here is the actual recipe;

Three chopped chicken breast
1 1/4 cup yogurt
1 diced apple
1/2 cup diced cucumber
1 diced celery stalk
1 Tbs. balsamic vinegar dressing
2 Tbs. honey
2 Tbs. chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
It looks like I forgot to put the lemon juice in the photo. Sorry about that.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix. What you get is something that resembles this.


















Take a piece of the green leaf lettuce and tear it off just above where it joins the core. Make a small tear at the center of the bottom of the leaf going upwards. Fan the leaf out so it becomes almost circular and lay it on the plate. I used the biggest ice cream scoop I had to place the chicken on top of the leaf.







To finish garnishing the plate I used a piece of pita bread that was sliced in two, three orange wedges and a few raspberries.

When Kathleen was putting her sandwich together she put the raspberries in the bread with the salad. She said it was very tasty.
The oranges should be a sweet taste after the slight tartness of the salad.


With it being nearly 100 degrees almost every day this week this is a light and refreshing meal to help beat the heat.

I hope you enjoy this alternative to a mayo based chicken salad.

Hey, at least my thumb wasn't in any of the pictures this time.
