Serving Size: 3/4 cup

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, diced
  • 1 apple (cored and diced)
  • 1/3 cup celery, chopped (about 1 rib)
  • 1/3 cup light ranch dressing or creamy salad dressing
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine chicken, apple, and celery in a medium bowl. Add dressing and pepper and stir to coat. Stir in pecans or walnuts, if desired.
  2. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Serve on a lettuce leaf; spread on bread, tortillas or a sandwich; or spoon into a halved tomato or cucumber.

Tips

Use 2 cans (5 ounces each) of water packed tuna instead of cooked chicken, if desired. Drain off the liquid and flake tuna with a fork before adding. Cooked roast beef or pork also can be substituted.

Try using 1 cup halved seedless grapes instead of an apple.

To make a full meal salad, add 2 cups cooked pasta.
