WHAT MAKES GREAT CHICKEN SALAD?

In my opinion, there are 3 crucial elements to delicious chicken salad:

Properly cooked chicken
High quality mayonnaise free of any unhealthy, overly processed, refined oils, and
An ingredient with “crunch”

This Healthy Curry Chicken Salad delivers on all three of these essential elements of great chicken salad and adds a healthy twist by using half mayonnaise and half Greek yogurt for the dressing base. This is a basic, foolproof, chicken salad recipe that you can customize to your liking by varying the herbs, spices, nuts, and dried fruit/berries. (See the last paragraph of this post for suggestions.)

Curried Black Rice Veggie Burgers

Disclosure: I received free samples from Nature’s Earthly Choice to develop this post. All opinions expressed are my own. JUMP TO RECIPE

Plant-based eating has been getting a lot of buzz lately as more and more research supports its association with a lower risk of many chronic diseases. If you’re a meat lover who is concerned about your health you might not want to hear this. But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with these savory, delicious, Curried Black Rice Veggie Burgers. I won’t claim these burgers taste exactly like ones made with meat, but if you believe the expression “we taste with our eyes first”, then perhaps your stomach will be tricked into believing you’re eating beef burgers! Over the years I’ve come across lots of recipes for veggie burgers but never one where the patties look almost identical to beef burgers, as they do here (check out the picture below). This is due to the recipe’s key ingredient – black rice, which, color aside, has some amazing health benefits. (more…)

Kefir Flatbreads

categories: Bread, Gluten Free, Sandwiches

Homemade slices of gluten-free bread, made with probiotic rich kefir, in under 30 minutes! JUMP TO RECIPE

I’ve been on a kefir roll lately and these gluten-free Kefir Flatbreads are my newest creation using this tart and tangy, probiotic rich dairy product. I just love kefir as an ingredient in healthy recipes and use it regularly as a substitute in dishes that call for yogurt or buttermilk. The results have been delicious. In case you’re not familiar with this increasingly popular health food, kefir (pronounced KUH-FEER) is a cultured milk product high in protein, calcium, and Vitamin D, and full of probiotics that strengthen immunity and promote gut-health. It has a thinner consistency than yogurt and a slightly effervescent quality that has earned it the title “Champagne of Dairy”. If you haven’t tried kefir yet, don’t wait one minute longer. You can find it in the dairy aisle at almost any grocery store nowadays; it’s usually right alongside the yogurt and smoothies. (more…)

Carrot Chicken Salad Wraps

categories: Chicken, Salads, Sandwiches

Fun and festive finger sandwiches that make the perfect party appetizer.

I recently purchased a package of sun-dried tomato sandwich wraps and as I was taking them out of the package one afternoon to make lunch their vibrant orange color reminded me, not of tomatoes, but of carrots. Shortly thereafter these Carrot Chicken Salad Wraps were born. I took my basic Clean Chicken Salad recipe, which I have been using for years, and added some classic carrot cake ingredients – finely grated carrots, raisins, and walnuts – to create these festive finger sandwiches.

Cauliflower Monte Cristo Sandwiches

categories: Gluten Free, Sandwiches

A lightened up version of the classic sandwich made with cauliflower bread instead of French toast.

Comfort food is a term that is way overused nowadays, but, if there was ever a dish worthy of this label, it is the Monte Cristo Sandwich. A Monte Cristo is nothing more than a grilled ham and cheese sandwich made on French toast. It’s typically dusted with powdered sugar, cut into triangles, and served with some type of dipping sauce. These sandwiches are sweet, salty, warm, soft, and gooey. They’re also incredibly heavy and filling. Cauliflower Monte Cristo Sandwiches are a lightened-up version of the classic sandwich, but no less delicious. Instead of French toast, the ham and cheese is layered in between a baked cauliflower mixture that resembles slices of bread. Serve these delicious sandwiches with dabs of Dijon mustard and some maple syrup dipping sauce on the side. (more…)

Almond Flour Flatbread Sandwiches

categories: Beef, Chicken, Gluten Free, Healthy, Sandwiches

I received free samples of Sabra Spreads mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Sabra and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.

UPDATE: Sabra Spreads have been discontinued. Substitute your favorite flavor of Sabra hummus is these recipes instead.

Everybody loves sandwiches. There is something incredibly satisfying about a good sandwich, proven by the fact that approximately half of all Americans eat a sandwich every day. That’s why I was so excited, when, as part of a Recipe Redux contest, I received samples of Sabra Spreads, a recently launched line of refrigerated based sandwich spreads from Sabra Dipping Company. They’re the folks who popularized hummus, the Middle Eastern dip made from ground chickpeas and tahini. Sabra Spreads are a condiment that you can use in place of mayonnaise or mustard. These spreads, which are made from hummus, are available in three flavors – Honey Mustard, Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper, and Garlic Herb. All are gluten-free, non-dairy, non-GMO, and kosher, with no cholesterol or trans fats. The Sea Salt & Cracker Pepper, and Garlic Herb spreads are also vegan. I developed three, healthy, Almond Flour Flatbread Sandwiches using Sabra Spreads as both an ingredient in the almond flour flatbread, and a condiment on the finished sandwiches. These sandwiches are so delicious and satisfy a variety of dietary needs and preferences. (more…)
