Introduction

This is one of my husband's signature recipes. It might just be my favorite! It's a nice twist to chicken salad that's vegetarian and could easily be made vegan with a different chix substitute (Quorn isn't vegan) and substituting Vegenaise for the mayo (how we actually make it, although it's got more fat that way). This isn't exactly a low-fat recipe, but it's low in saturated fats, so it's mostly healthy fats. =) This is one of my husband's signature recipes. It might just be my favorite!

    1/4 large onion
    2 tsp canola oil (or other oil)
    1/2 tsp salt

    1/4 garlic powder
    Dash of black pepper (to taste)
    2/3 cup of light mayo or Vegenaise
