Maria's Greek Chicken Salad created by PaulaG

This light and tasty salad recipe was given to me by a co-worker MANY years ago. I have made it SO many times, it would be hard to believe there are very many out there who haven't gotten a copy !! It doubles (or more) easily. 5/09 UPDATE : Hadn't prepared for a few years, and now have GREEK YOGURT available - works well with mayo. This time I added juice of 1/2 lemon -- added nice fresh tingle !

Wonderful salad! I made this for "Made for Eating Well While Staying Cool/Diabetic Forum and Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag game 2013. Delicious. I cut the recipe in half, poached the chicken in chicken broth with the vegies mentioned, used mayo and greek yogurt, added a few plain kalamata olives, a little red onion and served it over a bed of salad greens. What a refreshing salad for such a warm/hot day. Definately will be made again before the summer ends. Thank you for posting.

I used soy "chicken" and didn't have miracle whip so added a little vinegar and sugar to my mayo. Great salad. Thanks! Made for the Australian swap Nov. 2011.

This is a wonderful salad that would make a great wrap filling, sandwich, or simply served on a bed of lettuce. I used pitted calamata olives in keeping with the Greek tradition and plain non-fat Greek yogurt. Thanks, NurseJaney! Made for Aussie Kiwi Recipe Swap 55, August 2011.

YUMMY! We really enjoyed these "salad wraps". It was full of flavor and a hit to my boys and DH. Will be making this again and again. Thank You. {Made and reviewed for NZ/AUS recipe swap #38, March 2010}.
