Low-Fat Chicken Salad

Since returning to work, I have been seriously trying to up my lunch game. It’s not always easy as the mornings can be pretty tight for me. I always want to be sure that I get to give Maddie her morning bottle, but then have to go downstairs and pump before heading to work so I need lunches that I can prepare quickly.

I love chicken salad, but like you have probably heard me say a thousand times now, I HATE HATE when chicken salads, potato salads, or pasta salads are drowning in mayo. Yuck! I also love texture. I need some crunch mixed in there! This chicken salad is super simple to make and is much lower in fat thanks to one simple ingredient: Greek yogurt! Greek yogurt is a great substitute for mayonnaise. It’s nice and tangy, but with less fat! For that nice crunch I am always looking for, I added diced celery, apple, and sliced almonds. This chicken salad can be served over greens or on your favorite sandwich bread.
