Wasabi Chicken Salad

Darcie Kelly's Note:

This recipe is easy to make and tastes great. I made it up last night while in a hurry, and had a taste for some wasabi. My family loved it.

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 1 (12 1/2 ounce) can chicken
• 4 teaspoons wasabi powder (or to taste)
• 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1 pinch garlic powder
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• diced cucumber, with seeds removed (optional)

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl using a fork.
2. Be sure you know how hot your particular brand of wasabi is, so you put enough!
3. Serve open faced on toast, or better yet, a toasted everything bagel.
4. This would also be good with canned turkey or tuna.
5. I recommend the low sodium soy because the canned chicken is already very salty.

I really liked this, but with one serious correction. There is WAY too much soy sauce. I cut it in half, and still had a lot of liquid left in the bottom of the bowl. Other than that, I really enjoyed the mix of flavors. The wasabi was a nice addition, giving a bit of a bite without being in-your-face hot. Instead of serving on bread, I decided to serve on a bed of baby spinach; which was a very nice compliment to the salad. I think that next time, I'd add something green to the mix- green onions, chives, fresh parsley; depending on what was available. This is a great way to use canned tuna, I'd imagine that chicken would be equally good.
