Apples add sweet-tart flavor and crunch to this lightened-up chicken salad that's lovely mounded on melon rings. Writes Nancy Daugherty from Cortland, Ohio, Curry powder gives this fruity chicken a unique flavor and golden hue. Ingredients:
3 cups cubed cooked chicken breast |
2 cups chopped tart apples |
3/4 cup chopped celery |
1/4 cup sliced green onions |
1/4 cup chopped pecans |
1/2 cup fat-free reduced-sugar vanilla yogurt |
1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise |
1/2 teaspoon curry powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 medium cantaloupe |
6 lettuce leaves |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, apples, celery, onions and pecans. Combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, curry and salt; add to chicken mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until chilled.
2. Meanwhile, place cantaloupe on it's side; cut into six rings. Discard seeds and ends. With a sharp knife, cut off rind. To serve, place cantaloupe rings on lettuce-lined plates. Top with chicken salad. Yield: 6 servings.
