Add your commentI think I will add plain yogurt in place of the sour cream and use less mayo next time. Maybe use grapes cut in half instead of raisins.
I don't go for scallions, but otherwise, yum! Also, if you add walnuts, you've got yourself a Waldorf Salad w/ chicken. Double yum!
What are Scallions? Onions?
I plan to try this with the leftover Thanksgiving turkey. I will also substitute the raisins with dried cranberries and leave out the salt.
I thought the 14 grams of sugar was kind of high - I will add less raisins which should lower the sugar count. I will also add some walnuts for "crunch" and which are good for you.
I'm wondering if the amount of mayo is correct. Seems like a lot??
This is a very good recipe that is low carb enough to enjoy without feeling guilty. I plan on fixing this using some of my leftover turkey instead of the chicken.
This is a great recipe. I only eat Gala apples. I know this will tASTE FANTASTIC.
Salad Lovers this is a new recipe I found in a Health magazine,for me I haven't tried it yet..I think the sugar content might be too much for me,also the sodium content is kinda high but I guess I can leave out the salt…
