Curried Chicken Salad on Apple Rounds image

These clever little low-calorie and gluten-free sandwiches use apple rounds to stand in for the bread. We prefer crisp, red varieties but Granny Smiths work just as well.

Ingredients

1/2 cup 2-percent Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 scallions, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons mild curry powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 rotisserie chicken, meat shredded, skin and bones discarded (about 2 cups meat)
1/2 rotisserie chicken, meat shredded, skin and bones discarded (about 2 cups meat)
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
1/4 cup loosely packed parsley leaves, chopped
1 small stalk celery, finely chopped
3 tablespoons golden raisins
3 large crisp red apples, such as Pink Lady or Honeycrisp
8 small Boston or Bibb lettuce leaves

Steps:

Whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, scallions, curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Add the chicken, pecans, parsley, celery and raisins and fold to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use (up to 3 days).
Core the apples and cut each into six to eight 1/4-inch thick rounds, for a total of 16 rounds. Arrange a lettuce leaf on 8 apple rounds and top each with about 1/4 cup of chicken salad. Sandwich with the remaining apple slices. Serve immediately.
