Chicken Salad

Finding a low sodium Chicken Salad recipe can be difficult, so here are a couple of ideas I’d like to share with you.

Using left over rotisserie chicken- white meat- without the skin ( the skin is full of sodium)  or better still use your own boiled chicken, add some of your favorite berries and fruit to your chicken and then use a mix of Greek Yogurt or low fat sour cream or a combination of the two, keeping away from the mayonnaise's. 

Add fresh herbs, it really pulls out the flavor.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups leftover rotisserie chicken (white meat only) 
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 1/2 cup diced apple
• 1/2 cup grapes, halved
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice, or more, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  
  In a large bowl, combine chopped up chicken, red onion, apple, grapes, dried cranberries, sliced almonds, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder and pepper to taste.

You can wrap the chicken salad around a leaf of Romaine lettuce( that keeps it really low sodium) or put it between a couple of slices of whole grain bread with lettuce.
