Chicken Salad With an Asian Twist image

The key to this recipe is the sesame oil which gives it a smokey, mellow flavor. This is a much healthier alternative to mayonnaise based chicken salad sandwiches.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 -3 drops sesame oil
2 teaspoons fat free asian-style dressing
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked
10 grapes, halved
1 green onion
10 raw cashews
1 stalk celery
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1 cup baby spinach leaves
12 slices whole grain bread

Steps:

  • Mix together yogurt, garlic powder, sesame oil, salt, pepper, asian dressing (there is a recipe here on Food.com that is awesome), and set aside.
  • Chop the onion and celery into small pieces.
  • Using a "slapper" food chopper, chop the cashews.
  • Chop the chicken into small pieces.
  • Mix the yogurt mixture in with the grapes, chicken, cashews, onion, and celery.
  • Serve on a good, nutty bread (I like the ABM Seed Bread found here on Food.com) with spinach leaves. Sprinkle a few sesame seeds on top and serve.
