Name: Healthy Chicken Salad
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 15 min
Ingredients: 1 (6 ounce) container fat-free Greek yogurt (such as Fage®); ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese; ½ cup chopped celery; ½ cup diced apple; ¼ cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®); 2 tablespoons chopped onion; 2 tablespoons chopped pecans; ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard; 1 ¼ cups cubed, cooked chicken; salt and ground black pepper to taste

A protein-packed alternative to the normal chicken salad. This one is healthier, quick, and easy to make. I peeled my apple, personal preference, but feel free to add it unpeeled.

It didn’t have much flavor so am thinking of adding maybe some dried jalapeños to spice it up.

Fantastic substitute for mayo.  Delicious salad full of fruits and savories.

A Great salad. I add more mustard and cheese chunks to it mine and it was perfect.

A little bland, but garnished it with tomatoes and feta and it was awesome!

I was very skeptical about the replacement of mayonnaise but OMG!! Amazing. I just sort of eyeballed it so it wasn’t exact but I think it’s a personal preference on texture. The flavor was great! I am on a high-protein diet so this was perfect.

Yogurt and cottage cheese...who would have thought!  It was tasty.  Kids liked it, but I also kept our own spin on chicken salad sandwiches, by adding a diced granny smith,  candied pecans, a halved red grapes!  Similar to Arbys!  We are glad to skip the mayo anytime.

I totally disliked it.  Texture was probably the most offensive, maybe the yogurt and cottage cheese should be put through a blender for a smoother consistent taste.  I also thought it lacked flavor.

Tastes good but the texture is not my preference

It was good. Change from the usual chicken salad. Thanks for introducing it so I could try it .
