One of my favorite lunch foods is surely a chicken sandwich. In my opinion, this Chicken Salad Tartine with Dates is the best and also it’s healthy too!
In my opinion, when it comes to a chicken salad, there is one ingredient that is always in there, and that is mayonnaise. A lot of people do not like this delicious salad because of this one ingredient. Certainly hard for the mayo lovers among us to believe, I know! So for anyone who hates mayonnaise, this salad is a great alternative. Additionally, losing the mayo makes this salad just a bit different and certainly more healthy.
So move over boring chicken salads everywhere! My Chicken Salad Tartine with Dates is the one recipe you will undoubtedly be making again and again. I in fact substitute Greek yogurt for mayonaisse, for a nice tangy, healthy spin on this classic.
I find that tartine sandwiches are generally healthier for us instead of too much bread. To clarify, a tartine is a fancy name for an open-faced lunch. Tartines always make me feel full when I eat just one slice of bread instead of two. Funny that. Although this may be true, this is also delicious, so you have to resist the temptation to eat it twice!
Appetizer tip:
- Toast some baguette slices and after that top with this chicken salad mix.
- Scoop into lettuce cups for an even more healthy alternative.
