Organic Chicken Salad with Yogurt Dressing

 

3 baked organic chicken breasts (or equivalent amount), de-boned and cut into medium-sized chunks, place in medium bowl,

Add:

½ onion, medium dice

1 jalapeno, ribs removed and diced fairly small (can substitute ½ tsp. cayenne pepper)

2/3 c. diced celery (if you have the tender center pieces, dice up the leaves as well)

1 apple, green or red, diced with skin on

¼ c. dried cherries or cranberries (raisins are good too)

1/3 c. pecans, hand broken into medium pieces

In separate bowl, mix

1/3 c. organic, whole milk yogurt

¼ c. mayonnaise

1 ½ Tbsp. mustard (yellow or whatever you like)

¼ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. fresh cracked pepper

dash of garlic powder

Mix dressing well and stir into chicken.  Serve alone, on crackers, ice cream scooped on top of a green salad, or eat some and hide the rest in the fridge without telling anyone else that you made it.  It will go fast.
