When you need a quick, cool meal on a hot summer’s day, chicken salad is one of the best dishes you can make for your heart and your tastebuds. That’s why Health eCooks is sharing 5 heart healthy chicken salad recipes that are low sodium, low fat and easy to make for a heart healthy diet.
When it’s too hot to turn on the oven, pick up a roasted chicken from the grocery store and add a few simple ingredients to create a hearty and healthy chicken salad. Instead of salt, these chicken salad recipes are naturally seasoned with flavors like earthy cumin, sweet grapes and zesty ginger.
We use grilled or roasted chicken breast meat to make these chicken salad recipes, along with plenty of recommendations for healthy substitutions. For example, our recipe test kitchen chef replaces high fat mayo with a low-fat Greek yogurt dressing or nutrient-rich avocado to create healthier chicken salad dishes that are low cholesterol and low in saturated fat.
Whether you prefer your chicken salad creamy, crunchy or loaded with hearty ingredients, these simple recipes are the best chicken salad ideas because they can be served over lettuce, in a wrap, or alongside a homemade easy fruit salad.
