Curried Chicken Salad


I am so excited about Mad Men starting up again! One episode featured Don Draper eating a plate full of chicken salad with Ritz Crackers and I thought, I need to bring that back. You can keep the sexual harassment at the office, extramarital affairs, and drunk driving, but I'll take chicken salad with Ritz Crackers and the fashion (of course).

I'm spiking a fairly traditional chicken salad recipe with an exotic spice: curry powder. Yum!

Curried Chicken Salad
(Lovingly adapted from Ellie Krieger)
6 Points+ Per Serving - Serves 1 (If you're super hungry!)

1/4 cup of non-fat plain Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp light mayonnaise
1 tsp curry powder
2 oz shredded roast chicken, diced
1 tsp cilantro leaves, chopped
Handful of grapes, sliced in half
1 tsp sliced almonds
Juice of half a lemon (optional)

Whisk non-fat plain Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, and curry powder together in a bowl. I added a splash of lemon juice to loosen it up and add a splash of freshness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Gently fold in diced chicken, cilantro, grapes, and almonds. Store in the fridge for at least an hour so the flavors can meld.

Serve with crackers, over butter lettuce, with endive, or in a sandwich.
