After a month off (due to Christmas), its Secret Recipe Club time again! I was glad to have December off since we moved across the country. We settled into our new apartment just before Christmas, and I’m not getting back into the swing of things (as much as a 1st trimester mommy can!). 🙂
This month I was assigned to Kudos Kitchen by Renee. Since I had some turkey leftover from Christmas in my freezer, I decided to make this beautiful colourful Rainbow Chicken Salad! I like that the sauce isn’t just mayonaise, but is half yogurt. Between that, and all its veggies added in, it makes this recipe a healthier sandwich filling, and so pretty to serve.
Rainbow Chicken Salad
2 cups chicken (or turkey!), cooked, diced into bite-sized pieces
1 medium purple onion, diced (I used white as I didn’t have any purple, but purple would be so pretty!)
1/4 large orange bell pepper, diced
1/4 large yellow bell pepper, diced
1/2 apple, peeled and diced
1 lime, zest and juice (I used 1 Tbsp pickle juice!)
1 pickle, diced
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground coriander
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
In a large bowl, add all the ingredients and stir to combine well. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.
Great pick! I also love the use of yogurt, as I am a certified mayo-hater.. 🙂
Hope your move went smoothly, moving is a nightmare of sorts, but usuallly for the better!
I bet you could use 100% yogurt instead of some mayo. 🙂 I make my own mayo and definitely feel better using that than store-bought. 🙂
Move went well, thanks! Getting into a new rhythm with life here, so that’s good! Pregnancy nausea is just about gone (14wks) so that’s another help in getting to know my new area more. 😉
Congrats on your pregnancy!
I love chicken salads with lots of fixings – looks delicious!
Happy Reveal Day!
Thank you, Sarah! 🙂
What a beautiful salad. It looks delicious. Yummy.

Oh yum! I love it when loads of veggies are added to meat salads… It makes them look so pretty! Great pick! 🙂
I do too! It adds such a freshness to it. 🙂
Yummy! I’ve made something similar before and served it on bagels. So good.
What a great way to use up some leftovers! Great SRC pick!
made this recipe today for friends and they loved the brightness of the filling. Thanks
