Healthy Chicken Salad
There are many foods in life that are well-worth the indulgence like a rich, velvety chocolate layer cake, truffled french fries and lobster macaroni and cheese and must never be deviated from, but then there are those dishes that you can play with and make lighter and healthier. One of my favorite recipes to transform is homemade chicken salad that is equal parts delicious and creamy but without the added fat. In this recipe, I swapped out mayonnaise and added tangy non-fat Greek yogurt. Initially, I was unsure if poultry would mix with yogurt, but it does, it does and has left me preferring this variety over the other. I also added a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to make it a bit richer and added some chopped shallots and celery, which I then served atop a bed of red leaf lettuce.

Greek yogurt is my ultimate health food from baked goods to dressings like this! I also like to add celery seed to mine.
