I swapped out the mayo in your typical chicken salad with some protein packed cottage cheese. I made it a delicious lunch by cutting up a whole wheat pita brushed with a tiny bit of olive oil and pepper and toasting it until crispy- yummy pita chips!
Ingredients
- 1 large cooked chicken breast, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 of a large red onion, diced
- 1 celery stalk, diced (including leaves)
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese, I use 1% no sodium added
- 1/4 cup of white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup of dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Start by mixing the cottage cheese, white wine vinegar, and dijon mustard. I like a little more mustard in mine so feel free to add more if you like! Toss with chicken, onion, and celery. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve over a salad or with home made pita chips. Enjoy!
