CHICKEN SALAD
1 cup cooked diced chicken (great way to use leftover chicken or turkey)
1/4 cup green seedless grapes, peeled and diced
1/4 cup red seedless grapes, peeled and diced
1/2 medium red apple, diced
1/2 medium green apple, diced
medium orange, peeled and diced
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/4 cup shredded coconut
2 Tablespoons lemon juice (keeps fruit from turning dark)
1/2 yogart or cool whip
-------------------------------------------
In a mixing bowl combine the chicken, grapes, apples, orange, nuts, coconut and lemon juice, mixing well. Stir in the yogart or cool whip. If mixture is too dry, add a bit more until it appears creamy. Cover salad and place in the refrigerator at least an hour until the salad is completely cold.
Serve the salad on a leaf of lettuce accompanied by a few of your favorite snack crackers. It is a healthy treat that is filling yet light .
Serves 3-4.
