Hello...

I am one that doesn't like to eat chicken salad or egg salad without the bread, esp. with mayo. I just can't take the mayonaisse taste alone. I found a recipe on the internet that combined chicken and cream cheese, so I thought, well hey...that solves my problem. I'll make it without mayo. So, here's this simple recipe that you can use with egg salad or chicken. Oh, and it's good for Atkins...

Chicken, cubed or chopped roughly
2 1/2 heaping spoonfuls of cream cheese
1 spoonful of mayo
chopped black olives
1/4 cup of cheese-(whichever you prefer)
Spinach or Romaine Lettuce

In a bowl, combine the cream cheese with the mayo. Add in chicken, mix well. Add in cheese and black olives. Serve room temp or chilled over lettuce leaves.

Total Carbs: 8.5

I'm going to try this tomorrow! I have the chicken ready to go! This will be a great way to use it up differently! I will go out to the garden in the morning and get some Romaine Lettuce! It's ready and so am I! Thanks! Yummy!

I made this last night and it was really good. I had some this morning on a slice of my low carb bread, yummy!! Thanks for posting the recipe.

Glad you liked it!

i have a chicken salad recipie that doesn't take mayo at all *i also can't stand mayo*

chopped chicken
sauteed mushrooms *or you can nuke them with the bacon*
chopped bacon
chopped green onions
a little sour cream insted of mayo

yum!

Cool! I like that one too!!!

I use this for my salad:

Cooked chicken, shredded/pulled
mayo (as much as you like, depending on your preference)
1-2 ribs of celery chopped into small dice
salt and pepper to taste
dash of curry

I don't put enough curry to make it spicy, but I do like the taste it adds... it's excellent and is even better the second day.

ooh, even more chicken salad recipes...cool!!!
