Apple and Chicken Salad

A deliciously balanced blend of crisp Cameo apples, celery, raisins, chicken breast and Greek yogurt-based dressing, served over a bed of lettuce

Ingredients:

• 2 red apples (such as Cameo apples)
• 2 celery stalks (diced)
• 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 16 lettuce leaves (bibb, romaine, green or red leaf)

Directions:

1. Cut apples in quarters; remove core and chop.
2. In a medium size bowl, mix all ingredients, except lettuce.
3. To serve, arrange lettuce on serving plates, top with apple and chicken salad.

Weekly menu planning tip:  When you're planning dinner with chicken, cook up extra chicken breast and refrigerate for later use in this salad. Serve with 8 ounces non-fat milk and one slice rustic whole grain bread.
