Healthy Chicken Salad from Elizabeth Grange

Healthy Chicken Salad Sauce

This was served at our women's retreat and was so delicious!

Chicken Salad Sauce

½ cup whole milk greek yogurt

½ cup mayo (my favorite is avocado oil based mayo)

Herbs of choice. I used fresh parsley, basil, lemon thyme, dill,

green onions. Sea salt and pepper.

Blend together into food processor until herbs are broken down
into small pieces. If you don’t want to use a food processor, finely
chop herbs and mix all ingredients into a bowl.

Mix into a bowl full of cooked diced chicken, diced apples,
diced celery, and halved grapes.

Turkey and Cranberry Sub Sandwich

I love turkey and cranberry sandwiches, especially the one at Kneaders.  I found this copy cat recipe for a Downtowner sandwich from chef in training at this site:  It sounds like the same sandwich I love so I am posting it here in my favorites!

Favorite Chicken Salad

This recipe is from my friend Wendy Perkins, and whenever I need chicken salad, this is my recipe I use, Love it, so will you!

Chicken Salad
2 cups chicken, diced
2 cups celery, diced
2 eggs, hard-boiled and diced
1/4 cup green peppers, diced
1/4 cup grated carrots
2 Tblsp green onion, chopped
2 Tblsp sweet pickles, diced
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 cup whipping cream (already whipped and ready to go, I buy the little carton of fresh whipping cream and whip it with powder sugar and vanilla and then use that)

Mix together all ingredients above except whipping cream.  Put in refrigerator for two hours.  Just before serving, add 1/2 cup  whipping cream.

You can add grapes to this salad and nuts as well!  So yummy in croissants, enjoy!

for the nourishing of our souls:
 My favorite scripture is : Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding:  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

the key words are "all thine heart" , sometimes we do trust and we do believe, but not with ALL our HEARTS, the secret to peace in all trials and all life's experiences comes from Trusting that our Heavenly Father knows up perfectly, loves us perfectly, and wants us to return to Him again, therefore, He will guide us through our journey and bless us, even when we think He does not hear or understand us, HE DOES!  TRUST WITH ALL YOUR HEART!
