Cooking Light

The BLT sandwich is the inspiration for this tangy salad. You can make the chicken salad ahead, and place it in pita halves just before serving.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
• 1/4 cup (1oz) crumbled blue cheese
• 2 Tbsp light mayonnaise
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 3 cups shredded romaine lettuce
• 1-1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken (~ 6oz)
• 4 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
• 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
• 4 6" whole wheat pitas, cut in half

Preparation

Step 1

Combine first 4 ingredients, stirring well. Combine lettuce, chicken, bacon, and tomatoes in a medium bowl, stirring well. Drizzle yogurt mixture over chicken mixture; toss gently to coat. Spoon 1/2 cup chicken salad into each pita half.
