While on a calorie-counting quest, I put together this chicken salad 'loaded' with celery, onion, and shredded carrots (which contain very little calories). The almonds give it a little extra crunch, and the cranberries are just sweet goodness :) I listed 'creamy Italian dressing'. For this, I made Creamy Italian Dressing #34649 and added 1 tbsp of honey mustard, using 2 tbsp of this mixture in my salad. Ingredients:
4 ounces chicken, diced or shredded |
1/4 cup celery, diced |
1/4 cup onion, diced |
1 small carrot, shredded |
2 tablespoons almonds, slivered |
2 tablespoons dried sweetened cranberries |
2 tablespoons creamy italian dressing |
1 cup spinach leaves |
1 tomato, thinly sliced |
2 whole wheat pita bread, each cut in half |
Directions:
1. Combine first 7 ingredients; mix well.
2. Fill each pita half with 1/4 cup spinach leaves, sliced tomato and 1/4 of the chicken salad.
3. Served with 1 cup of skim milk and 1 oz bag of potato chips, this adds up to a little over 400 calories.
