I agree about the fat content - entirely too much! But the spices sound delish, and I'd be willing to try with the yogurt instead.
Customer rating:
Way to much fat and cholesterol. May be low in Carbs, but I think you could also make it lower in fat by using plain, non-fat yogurt instead of the mayo. what do you think?
Customer rating:
I used 1 cup light mayo (olive oil) plus 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt. Yum! Also good with cashews in place of almonds. If not watching carbs too strictly, you can also add some diced fruit - apples or dried cranberries work great. But your nutrition info is way off - chicken salad with 0 lean meat exchanges??
Customer rating:
any chicken salad is delicious, but this one was really AMAZING. Loved it more than anything I've ever eaten in my entire life!
