Mom's Chicken Salad: A Salad for Chicks
This recipe has five main ingredients and is versatile enough that you can work with what you have on hand. It's a great one to make ahead if you have a girly-friend coming over for lunch or tea. I think it seems a bit fancy because of the grapes.
I've made it a tad healthier than my Mom's version by cutting the mayo with yogurt. You could probably cut out the mayo completely just double the yogurt and be sure to compensate with a little extra seasoning.

I like to serve this to my lady friends with mini croissants or rice crackers.
For this recipe I used two chicken breasts that I poached myself. But you can use any type of cooked chicken- a great way to use leftovers!
(Feel free to experiment with other ingredients like onion or shredded carrots depending on what you have in the kitchen.)

this looks Yum. I thought you might like this food blog: http://thecocinamonologues.com/ This was a fellow graduate student and she is very creative with the cookery (also a young mum).
Thanks! I will definitely check out her site. The salad IS yum you should try it. It's all about the grapes.
