LOADED CHICKEN OR TUNA SALAD WITH GREEK YOGURT GARLIC RANCH "MAYO" RECIPE - (4.6/5)
Provided by Tarah716
Number Of Ingredients 21
Steps:
- Make the Salad Combine the first 7 ingredients in a large bowl. Mix in as much of the Greek Yogurt ranch mayo as you desire. The Secret - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (I refrigerate it overnight) before serving to allow the flavors of the chicken salad and yogurt ranch to really blend or shall I say 'sing'? Because it really does sing! You'd be amazed at the difference it makes, not unlike beef stew eaten the day after it's cooked. Season it with extra salt and pepper after letting it chill, if need be. Serve as sandwiches, slightly mashing an avocado on top or spreading the avocado on one or both slices of bread, then layering boston or butter lettuce and tomato, if desired, or roll into whole wheat flour tortilla wraps or flatbread. Keep it low-carb and gluten-free by serving as is on a salad plate or spooned into a ripe avocado half. Make The Greek Yogurt Garlic Ranch: Place Greek yogurt in a strainer lined with cheesecloth (or a paper towel) over a bowl. Cover the strainer and allow excess liquid to drain for about 1 to 2 hours. You'll be replacing the liquid with buttermilk to make it 'ranch'. (While it's draining, start roasting the peppers and prepping the rest of the vegetables for the salad). If you're using all mayonnaise, obviously you can skip the above step. In a medium bowl, stir together strained Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, chives, dill, garlic paste,, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir in buttermilk. Add more or less buttermilk for desired taste and consistency. I like it thick, like, well..mayo. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Wrap and refrigerate for several hours before adding it to salad, if you have the time. Even more flavor! Notes: *Double or add another half of the Garlic Ranch recipe for more 'mayo' ** You can usually find buttermilk powder in the baking or dried milk aisle in supermarkets. If not, you can order it online.

Categories main-dish
Time 35m
Yield 4 to 6 servings
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Game plan: Make the salad while the chicken bakes.
- For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a small rack on a baking sheet.
- Put the falafel mix in a pie plate or other shallow bowl. Heat about 1/2-inch oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, to taste, and coat with the falafel mix, shaking off any excess. Carefully place the chicken smooth side down in the hot oil, taking care not to crowd the pan. Cook until nicely browned, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the rest of the chicken. Transfer the chicken to the prepared rack. Bake until firm but slightly springy when pressed, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the Yogurt Salad: Toss the mint, cucumbers, dill, onion, garlic, and salt in a small bowl. Finely grate the zest from the lemon into the salad and squeeze in the lemon's juice too. Stir the yogurt into the salad.
- Arrange chicken on a platter and serve with salad or put a chicken breast on each of 4 plates with the salad.
