Ingredients

    ¨÷ cup low-fat mayonnaise`
    ¨÷ cup nonfat or low-fat plain yogurt 2 tsp lemon juice ¨ù tsp salt 3 cups chopped cooked chicken breast 1 medium red apple, diced 1 cup halved red or green grapes 1 cup sliced celery ¨ö cup chopped walnuts, divided (toasted if desired)

Directions

Preparation
Whisk mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice and salt in a large bowl. Add chicken, apple, grapes, celery and half of the walnuts. Stir to coat well. Serve topped with the remaining walnuts. Quick Tip: If you want cooked chicken in a hurry, the easiest way to cook it is to poach it. Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a skillet or saucepan. Add lightly salted water (or chicken broth) to cover and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle (approx 10-15 minutes). (One pound of raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts yields about 2¨ö cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken.)
