Zesty Chicken Salad created by Seasoned Cook

Based on a recipe from Pam Spaude & Jan Owan-McMenamin, R.D.'s cookbook, One Year of Healthy, Hearty & Simple One-Dish Meals. They say to serve with "a vegetable of your choice and top off with fresh honeydew melon slices for dessert." I serve in a low-carb tortilla wrap for a nice light lunch!

Very good! I like the ingredients to this chicken salad. In addition to the ones listed I added some red grapes to enhance the flavor even more. My family enjoyed this for a wonderful lunch. Prepared as a participant in the Aus/NZ Swap #35 December 2009 Event.

Aussie Swap 27: This is indeed a Zesty chicken salad - the lemon juice provides a little pucker - it's refreshing!

Very delicious lunch! I really enjoyed the garlic and parmesean, I have never added then to my chicken salad before. Wrapped it up with a tortilla and added a little lettuce. I'll have to make more next time, because DH eats two of these. Thanks for sharing! Made for PAC Spring 2009
