Recipe: Chicken Salad
Chicken salad – with yogurt and it’s gluten free! Total score. This healthy chicken salad makes use of tangy plain yogurt rather than rich mayo. Don’t get me wrong, I like mayo, it’s just that on a one-to-one comparison it’s about 10 times the calories, and let’s be honest, I’d rather eat chips and chocolate than mayo. Life is about balance and yogurt in this recipe gives me that balance. Let’s get cooking. Ingredients 200g of pulled chicken (lightly seasoned) 1/2 a cup of chopped…
