I once worked for a man who could devour a cup of
mayonnaise in one sitting. He’d order a bowl of it with his lunch and dip
potato chips in it. Oh the calories! Oh the cholesterol! Oh the clogged
arteries! Most people love mayonnaise, but let’s face it, mayonnaise doesn’t
love us back.
So what do you do to bind together all those summer
salads we’re so fond of? Greek yogurt to the rescue! It works as a mayo
substitute in pasta salad, tuna salad, seafood salad, potato salad, and chicken
salad. Today I’m using it in chicken salad. Trust me, you won’t miss the mayo.
Note: The recipe calls for a rotisserie chicken, which
can be purchased at any supermarket. However, you can also use pre-cooked
chicken breasts, thighs, or tenders or leftover chicken you cooked yourself.
