Chicken Salad Delight

PEARL CHATS: Now you can enjoy chicken salad the slimming way. This is deliciously creamy with sweet pops of grape or apple and a just right crunch of nuts. Enjoy open-face piled on sprouted-grain bread or wrapped in lettuce leaves. While Serene doesn’t use Laughing Cow Light cheese, I sure love it. Blended with the Greek yogurt, it makes this dressing creamier and cuts down the tartness of the yogurt, but you can leave it out if it doesn’t fit your purist approach to THM. This recipe is found in the "Hangry Meals for One" section of Trim Healthy Table, page 299, and is a single-serve recipe.
