Yogurt-Lemon Chicken Salad
This is a great version of chicken salad that uses yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, cold, shredded chicken
- 1 cup sliced celery
- 2 whole lemon's juice
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup yogurt
Steps
- Mix all items together
This chicken salad is great for snacking with tortillas, and even better for sandwiches. You can even turn your chicken salad mix into a great salad by mixing with lettuce and either grapes, pineapple chunks, or some similar fruit.
You can play around with this recipe by adding finely-chopped parsley (perhaps a half cup), maybe a half-cup of finely-chopped bell pepper, or a cup of crumbled cremini mushrooms.
I usually make the chicken by putting a few pounds into a crockpot, covering it with water, and letting it sit on low for eight to ten hours. But any leftover chicken will do.
