How to Make Zero-Point Chicken Salad
To keep this recipe at zero points while maintaining that rich, classic chicken salad texture, we swap out heavy mayonnaise for a protein-packed, fat-free alternative.
The Ingredients
-
4 cups Chicken Breast: Cooked, cooled, and finely shredded or chopped. (Tip: Use skinless chicken breast boiled in chicken broth or seasoned water to keep it zero points).
-
1.5 cups Fat-Free Plain Greek Yogurt: This is the secret to getting that perfect creamy texture without the points of traditional mayo.
-
1 cup Celery: Diced small for that essential, refreshing crunch.
-
2 tablespoons Green Onion or Chives: Finely chopped for a subtle savory bite.
-
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard: Adds depth and a little tang.
-
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder: For a classic savory base.
-
1 tablespoon Dried Dill or Parsley: Gives it that beautiful herbed appearance and fresh flavor.
-
Salt and Black Pepper: To taste.
