Crisp Gala apple and crunchy celery give this nutrient-rich salad an extra dimension of tantalizing texture and color. An excellent source of vitamin C, celery helps strengthen the immune system. Ingredients:
1 (10-ounce) package frozen microwaveable brown rice (such as birds eye) |
1 cup vanilla fat-free yogurt |
1 teaspoon curry powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3 cups chopped cooked chicken breast (about 1 pound) |
1 1/2 cups chopped gala apple (about 1 medium) |
1/2 cup chopped celery |
1/4 cup cherry-flavored sweetened dried cranberries (such as craisins) |
green leaf lettuce leaves (optional) |
Directions:
1. Prepare rice according to package directions. Spread rice in a shallow pan; place in freezer 8 to 10 minutes.
2. While rice chills, combine yogurt, curry powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add chicken and next 3 ingredients to yogurt mixture, stirring until coated.
3. Stir chilled rice into chicken mixture. Spoon chicken salad onto lettuce leaves, if desired.
