Baked tofu or shrimp can be used instead of the chicken.
Chicken Salad
This chicken salad recipe combines Greek-style yogurt and mayonnaise for a creamy dressing.
Sweet apple, toasty hazelnuts and crunchy celery balance the flavors and texture.

Serve on toasted baguette or atop lightly dressed greens.
To keep the ingredients from getting soggy, dress this salad and top it with peanuts just before serving.
For a delicious vegan option, swap in roasted tofu for the chicken breast (see Associated Recipes).

Serve it open-face on toasted bread or scoop it on top of fresh salad greens.
Prep the dressing and the salad greens while the chicken is roasting.

And it’s bursting with Super Bowl Sunday potential.
Serve over greens or make it into a sandwich for a healthy lunch.
We chose flat-leaf parsley in this salad because it has a stronger herbal taste than its sometimes-bitter curly counterpart.
The leftovers from this healthy 400-calorie meal make a delicious packable lunch for the next day.
Finish it off with chicken, or use white beans as a plant-based protein alternative.
(To make this bowl completely vegetarian, omit the anchovy paste from the dressing.)

If you could’t find fava beans, try thawed frozen lima beans or edamame in their place.
Serve combined with glass noodles or inside a lettuce leaf.
For a slightly different take, swap out the cooked chicken for thin slices of grilled steak.
If you’d prefer not to use tequila, substitute 1 tablespoon each orange and lime juice.
