Make this your go-to chicken salad recipe to serve at showers, lunch gatherings, and tailgates. Serve with fat-free pretzels. Ingredients:
1/3 cup fat-free mayonnaise |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
2 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast |
1 cup halved seedless red grapes |
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted |
1 (11-ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained |
6 small green leaf lettuce leaves |
3 (6-inch) whole wheat pita bread rounds, cut in half crosswise |
Directions:
1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring well. Gently stir in oranges.
2. Place 1 lettuce leaf in each pita pocket half. Spoon 3/4 cup chicken salad into each pita half.
3. Note: Using fat-free mayonnaise instead of regular can help you keep your intake of fat grams down to a healthy level. But remember that even though the mayonnaise is fat-free, it still contains sodium and may need to be limited if you're on a low-sodium diet.
