Chicken Salad With an Asian Twist

The key to this recipe is the sesame oil which gives it a smokey, mellow flavor. This is a much healthier alternative to mayonnaise based chicken salad sandwiches.

Directions

1. Mix together yogurt, garlic powder, sesame oil, salt, pepper, asian dressing (there is a recipe here on Food.com that is awesome), and set aside.
2. Chop the onion and celery into small pieces.
3. Using a "slapper" food chopper, chop the cashews.
4. Chop the chicken into small pieces.
5. Mix the yogurt mixture in with the grapes, chicken, cashews, onion, and celery.
