Not all chicken salads are created equal. This new recipe I made up is going to be a winner. Once the summer cherry tomatoes start producing we may have this once a week.
As you can see, it is very colorful. Here's what's in the dish:
Shredded cooked chicken breasts, one avocado (cut in bite pieces), 15 cherry tomatoes (cut in half). The dressing makes the great taste and adds a little more protein. In a foot processor, I added 1/2 cup cottage cheese (low fat), 3 tablespoons Hellman's Mayo, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon Marzitte slaw dressing, about 1/2 cup chopped chives and 5 fresh mint leaves, black pepper and dash kosher salt. Blend until smooth.
The shredded cooked chicken probably amounted to 3 cups.
This was made about 1.5 hours before serving in order for the flavors to blend.
As you can see, Bob loved each bit. I served the salad in Romaine lettuce leaves with red pepper slices and wild rice on the side.
Let me know if you try it.
