Chicken Salad Recipes

A spicy Cajun twist to the familiar Caesar salad.

This healthy, hearty salad is packed full of fruit AND vegetables.

While chicken Parmesan is traditionally fried and served with pasta, this lighter version is delightful atop a hearty tomato and basil salad.

Fall fruit adds a twist and replacing mayo with low-fat yogurt makes it a little more healthy. This is great for leftover chicken.

Served on a bed of nutrient-rich spinach, this chicken is a tasty lunch or dinner!

Eat this as your main dish! A whole lotta salad.

A bit high on the fat, but high protein so I don't really care! :) (Created 2007-03-22.)

Tangy feta and crunchy veggies work beautifully with hearty grilled chicken in this Greek salad recipe. It's hearty enough for a full meal!

This is a lighter version of my mom's almost-famous pasta salad. It's a summer classic in our family and great as a side dish or a meal on it's own.

This is a light, crunchy "Chicken" Salad substitute that even the "non-dieters" in my family like a lot. We make it at least once a week. You can vary the ingredients to suit all the "bits and pieces" you have left over from salads. Fat-free mayo also works in this recipe. Freezing drained, raw tofu overnight before making this recipe changes the texture of the tofu and makes it "meatier" in this recipe.

A quick and delicious lunch!

Yum.

A copy cat recipe to the highly processed version of Panera's Fuji Apple Chicken Salad Dressing.

Serve on a salad of Romain, red onion, tomato, pecans, dried apple chips and Gorgonzola cheese. The sweet and savory flavors are awesome!

This is a yummy mexican inspired dish, I love that the salad is served with salsa, sour cream & guacamole instead of boring old salad dressing. Nice & Low Calories for those Calorie Counters out there!

This is a makeover of Ruby Tuesdays Carolina Chicken Salad, with a calorie intake at over 1,000, is no way for any American to eat, there has to be a better way.
I chose to add flavorful, healthier ingredients to pack this "3C Salad" with character, class, and crunch. 3C Salad is quickly becoming a family favorite for lunch.

I remade Chili's Boneless Buffalo Chicken Salad because I really like chicken salads and I like hot wings. This recipe cuts the original's calories by about half. Most of the savings comes in baking the chicken in panko instead of frying the chicken in a batter.

NOTE: After thinking about it and reading some comments, I changed the wing sauce amount in the nutrition calculator to be 1 serving (1 Tbsp.) instead of the 8 that I had originally to match the ingredients list (the amount of sauce used is not equal to the amount you consume). It's still higher in sodium than I'd like, but I think the recipe is a good first cut. I'll keep tinkering with it.

Delicious, filling taco salad that can be served warm or cold. Low carb and low calorie, yet filling with chicken and flavorful due to the seasoning.

This light recipe is great for lunch, supper, or both. It serves eight, so cook once and eat twice!

This seasonal salad is ready in a flash. You will love the softness of the greens with the crunch of the radish and pomegranate.

Sounds like an odd combo, but amazingly delicious!!

This is a middle eastern twist in traditional chicken salad- featuring the flavors or the Middle East and Mediterranean. Goes together in 5 minutes.

We ditched the mayo from this sandwich staple and boosted the nutrition with crunchy vegetables.

When berries are in season and bursting with flavor, move them beyond sweet dishes. Here, they shine in a filling salad.
