Okay, so today I was really craving chicken salad but did not want all the extra fat and calories of mayo. I do not like the taste of light or fat-free mayo, so I came up with another alternative instead.
I took 1 wedge of light laughing cow swiss cheese (only 35 calories), put it in a bowl and microwaved it for about 20 seconds. It has the consistency of mayo when it's nuked!!! I added 1/4 cup canned chicken (packed), 1 tbsp. chopped walnuts, 1 tbsp. sweet pickle relish, a little salt & pepper and mixed it together and voila........a nice little lunch! Of course you could add whatever you like in it. It looks just like you used mayo and it's creamy too!
Next time I think I'm going to try putting in some raisins instead of the sweet pickle relish, yummmm.
Wow, I am so glad you posted that. I have an aversion to Mayo - I can't even stand the smell of it. I finally get to try chicken salad! Thanks

Here's what I eat for lunch every day: Buffalo chicken salad.
I take a couple cans of chunk chicken in a bowl, add some Franks Buffalo wing sauce (amazingly low in calories and almost no fat), a little ff ranch dressing and some dill pickle relish. Mix it all up. Then, I take 1/2 cup, put it in a whole wheat wrap, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and voila, LUNCH! It's pretty damn good too.

Me too. When I found out what it was made of I got so creeped out I quit eating it. Its greasy and smelly to boot.
I usually add a fat free salad dressing or dijon mustard to my chicken salad. Oh and lots of black pepper and red onions! There is definitely a party in my tummy then.
Georgia Girl, I will be trying this in the future. It sound awesome!
Laughing cow has 2 other light flavors: garlic herb and french onion
I've had the garlic herb and it's really good! I am going to try the french onion next, sounds yummy! These would probably be good in the chicken salad too, it would add lots of flavor.
