Veggie Packed Cheesy Chicken Salad (Reduced Fat) image

I came up with this when I was looking to use up a cooked chicken breast I had in the fridge. I wanted an easy lunch but something healthy and tasty too. I usually eat this with two lightly "buttered" (with low fat margarine) slices of bread but it is also good served on a bed of mixed lettuce leaves. The cooking time includes the chilling time.

This salad is a bit too bland for my taste. I would add some chopped celery and onion for extra flavor.

I'm not a fan of Miracle Whip, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It was just as delicious and much healthier.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add a hard-boiled egg or two for extra protein.
