Berry Chicken Salad (Nik's)

By LadyJ1114

Ingredients

• 1 c. shredded chicken meat
• 1/3 c. unflavored Greek yogurt
• 1 heaping tbsp lowfat mayo
• 2 tbsp. your favorite raspberry vinaigrette
• 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
• A dash of garlic salt
• 3 strawberries, sliced
• 1/4 c. blueberries
• Optional: any other berries you like
• + a handful of toasted nuts might
• be nice for crunch.

Preparation

Step 1

In a cup, combine Greek yogurt, mayo and dressing and stir until it resembles yogurt. (It will first be sort of clumpy but if you stir it for a minute or two it'll smooth out.)

Put your shredded chicken in a bowl and add spices to the chicken. Mix thoroughly.

Add yogurt/mayo mixture (Note: if you don't want to use mayo, try a drizzle of olive oil but you do need a little bit of fat. Greek yogurt alone doesn't hold well in chicken salads without giving off a "dry" aftertaste). Mix thoroughly.




Lastly add your berries and nuts, if using them.




This was a delightful surprise. Interestingly the black pepper is the star of this thing. The pepper against the berries and the savory chicken is quite nice! I ate this straight out of the bowl for lunch. They would also be good on a plain rice cake or with some whole wheat crackers if that's your thing.
