INGREDIENT NOTES:

CHICKEN BREAST:

  • It is the main component that keeps your recipe filling and satisfying. Shredded chicken easily mixes with your dressing. You may replace it with canned tuna, turkey breast, or chickpeas as per your choice.

PLAIN NON-FAT GREEK YOGURT:

  • Greek yogurt provides a rich and creamy texture to your recipe without increasing too many calories. It gives us high protein and low calories. Replace it with sour cream as an alternative, but the calories will slightly increase.

LIGHT MAYONNAISE:

  • It gives extra creaminess and a classic salad taste. Also, maintain the tanginess of yogurt and add a smooth dressing. You may utilize mashed avocado as another idea.

DIJON MUSTARD:

  • Dijon mustard gives a tangy taste and brightens the creamy mixture of your salad. Yellow mustard is a good alternative to Dijon mustard.

CELERY:

  • Celery provides a crunchy texture and freshness without increasing too many calories. You may use chopped bell peppers as per your choice.

ROMAINE LETTUCE:

  • We use it to make a fresh base for your salad. It includes volume without many calories. The best substitutes for romaine lettuce are spinach or iceberg lettuce.
