  I used the recipe but filled a tomato with it instead of using bread. - 7/6/12

  RedCowboyBoots, normally I'd agree with you, for example with low-fat mayo, salad dressings, and snacks. But Greek yogurt doesn't follow that rule. It is cultured from skim milk, which is made by removing the cream from milk--nothing replaced or added. So fat-free CAN still be healthy. - 7/7/12

  Very good I added walnuts and red grapes cut in half just because I like them and felt like I was eating a no no meal. Thanks for posting this recipe. - 6/20/12

  I made the salad minus the jicama and celery but then i spooned it into celery stalks. It was very tasty without the guilt of the heavy bread. - 7/17/12

  For it to be even healthier don't add salt! I add Chili Powder or Cayenne Pepper. Cayenne Pepper is good for your heart too :) - 7/6/12

  Good! I had it today as a sandwich. I think it does need something extra (e.g. grapes, apples, walnuts, pecans etc.) to kind of jazz it up and maybe less onion but overall a great low cal option! - 7/10/12

  I was talking to someone about pre making sandwiches (peanut butter) and freezing for easy lunches on the go. So today I made this, but formed it into sandwich size patties, individually wrapped, and put in the freezer for later. I'll report back how it thaws out. - 7/11/12

  Mmmmm, made mine today with Costco canned chicken, celery, red bell pepper fresh from my garden, a few dried cranberries, just a sprinkle of diced pecans and some Mrs Dash original salt free seasoning. All served on a pretty butter lettuce leaf. DELISH! - 10/26/12

  I had this for lunch today! I love the addition of greek yogurt- so creamy PLUS extra protein! I forgot the onion, lemon juice, and pepper, and decided to forgo salt. I did add chopped apple, a tiny bit of light mayo, and a bit of mustard. Love it! - 11/28/12

  Love it. I usually make a similar chicken salad using chopped walnuts, diced celery and apples. It is very tasty so I decided to try this for a change. I like the switch to jicama. The second time I made it, I added a few sliced white grapes. - 6/20/12

  Sounds like something to triple the recipe for taking to a get-together in two weeks. Thank you for the idea!

  The calorie count appears to be a little too high for the chicken. It calls for 12 oz total, with 4 servings; i.e., 3 oz per serving. The detailed nutrition count uses 4 oz in the calculation. But don't forget to add the calories for the bread if you use the salad on a sandwich. - 7/17/12

  as a sandwich it only got 3 stars. way to messy. i would give it another star for a nice salad with a lot more greens, like the arugula used and my favorite butter lettuce. vary the fruit and nuts. and you feel like you have eaten a nice meal. eat a rice cakes to lesson the calories.

  Absolutely delicious as is but over time I have made a few adjustments. Jicama is hard to find so I sub 1 diced gala apple and skip the Greek yogurt. Usually only eat 1/2 serving at a time, it's more than enough, and add 1/4 avocado to it when ready to eat. - 2/6/20

  Love jicama! I also added about a tablespoon or so of no sugar added apricot jam. (Sounds weird, tastes GOOD!) I bet no sugar added orange marmalade might be good too...maybe with some chopped pecans, maybe a bit of roasted red peppers and something spicy to jazz it up a bit... MMmmm! - 2/28/18
