Life can be very unpredictable and sometimes I never know what a week might hold! I want to be ready for anything and I sure don’t want to miss any fun! At the beginning of each week I try to make up a salad and a soup from our favorites file. This way if I get a chance to spend time with my grandchildren, and I’m too pooped at the end of the day, I have something to fall back on. if someone drops by, I can come up with a delicious lunch that is already prepared, you get the idea… One of our favorites is this Chicken Salad. Maybe it will become one of yours too!
Chicken Salad
4 cups cubed chicken (I tear mine)
1 1/2 cups papaya or seedless green grapes (I use grapes, sometimes red)
1 cup toasted pecan pieces
1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise (I don’t use low-fat)
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon poppy seeds (I don’t always use these)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Combine first three ingredients in bowl. Combine mayonnaise and next four ingredients. Add to chicken mixture. Stir gently to blend. Chill
