FYI…have made this twice using celery instead of peas (for extra crunch) but added raisins as well….so good!!!!

Looks excellent. Ive always hated HATED mayo… i didnt even like it in the same fridge as my food… and yes I agree I missed out on all the salads. Lately Ive been craving egg salad (I dont know why, I have never had it), so Ive been looking for substitutions for mayo. Was thinking fat free sour cream, but may now try yogurt. Recipe looks great, thank you!

Bridget – You can flavor it anyone you like. Here’s another chicken salad I made with yogurt that may give you some ideas…

any suggestions for a curry substitute. I don’t like it and never buy it.

My mother in law does chicken salad all the time. Zinging it up with curry is a great idea.

Hi Jessica!

I use a combination of websites, nutritiondata.com, fitday.com, and sometimes sparkpeople.com. I measure everything on my handy dandy electronic scale and tally up the totals. It’s really not that hard, just time consuming.

Yum! Quick question- how to you figure out the Nutritional Information? Do you use a website or base upon what the package says for each ingredient?

Hey Roni, I use Greek yogurt and light sour cream in creamy salads all the time and I love how it tastes, I like the tang of mayo but sometimes it is just too much and I prefer the creamier consistency of yogurt and sour cream. I also absolutely loathe light mayo both the taste and ingredient list so the dairy products win on that front too (and give calcium and protein.) Thanks for a new recipe that looks great and isn’t laden in mayo.

Sarah for recipes like this I like to poach my chicken, just put chicken, bay leaf and peppercorns in a shallow dish fill with water half way up cover and bring to boil. Turn off heat and let sit for 20 minutes, super moist and super easy and I just keep a breast or 2 in my fridge for the week.

Sarah – Depends on the cut of chicken and what I’m going to use it for. This happened to be leftover from a store bought rotisserie. If you don’t want to or have no time to cooke some you can use the canned chicken or the “short cuts” pre cooked pieces. Just a thought!

I am a mayo lover and went from full fat to light and now I use low fat at 15 calories a tablespoon. I have made my way over to the greek yogurt side and must say it is pretty decent especially when mixed with spices. That wrap looks delicious! Thanks for the idea! :)
