Description
A few weeks ago, I was at Trader Joe’s about to buy my first batch of their chicken salad for the season (they have so many great ones!) when I decided to make one myself at home instead and use things that would give it an extra oomph of protein. Now, this isn’t even a recipe today, it’s just an idea should you want to also throw together a quick and easy “chicken salad” minus the mayo and with a little bump of protein. I’m not going to include measurements today. This is just “add a little or a lot” of what you love. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- cooked and ready to eat chicken, chopped (use a rotisserie chicken from the store, leftovers, whatever you have on hand)
- some plain (non-flavored) Greek yogurt
- salt and pepper
- chopped green onions
- sliced red grapes
- cashews
- golden raisins
Instructions
- I used some rotisserie chicken and added a lot (I am always looking for more protein) to a bowl. I tossed it with a big spoonful of Greek yogurt, a nice pinch of salt and pepper along with my green onions, grapes, cashews, and golden raisins. I combined it all and then popped it in the fridge.
- I think it’s best when it’s chilled at least an hour or two. Remove to eat alone or make a sandwich. I made enough for two full days. That’s it!
