Description

I like chicken salad and I especially like my mom’s, but it is loaded with mayonnaise, which I don’t like! I’ve tried several recipes in the past and finally came up with my own healthy version. I find it super yummy! What’s even better, it’s got veggies in it, and no mayonnaise! I’ve made this chicken salad the past two weeks and I still can’t get enough of it.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE HERB MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE:
  • ¼ cups Fresh Parsley
  • ¼ cups Fresh Basil
  • ½ cups Green Onions, diced
  • 2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar
  • ½ Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • ½ Tablespoons Honey Mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • FOR THE CHICKEN SALAD:
  • 1-½ cup Chopped Cooked Rotisserie Chicken
  • ¾ cups Celery Finely Chopped
  • ¾ cups Frozen Peas, Thawed
  • ⅓ cups Shredded Low-fat Mozzarella (optional)
  • 2 Tablespoons Sliced Almonds, Toasted

Preparation

Combine vinaigrette ingredients in a food processor. Process until smooth.

Combine herb mixture with chicken, celery, peas, cheese, and freshly ground pepper in a large bowl, tossing well. Sprinkle with toasted almonds. Enjoy!

Store in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator.

Delicious!! The honey and peas make it sweet and crunchy ~ it’s a terrific change from the usual chicken salad.

Light and very flavorful! I was looking for a good lower-calorie chicken salad and this is definitely a keeper!
