Chicken Salad made with Yogurt

A day in the kitchen and I'm spent. I only wish that this blogging thing would go on auto pilot for at least a few days but, unless I sit down and get my brain to think creatively and my fingers to type, nothing gets posted and I'm behind. I have to say, those that not only cook, but take beautiful pictures are commendable but those who consistently blog is beyond me. Enough complaining, on to blogging!
P and I had a great weekend! It was hot but we managed! One fun thing that we did was a bike ride to Target! We finally got helmets this weekend so we would be legal riding up and down the streets of Dallas so that's just what we did, downtown Dallas watch out! We were out for about an hour and a half and walked in our apartment drenched in sweat. Poor Kaepo got left out on this adventure and we both think he knew it because for about an hour after we got home he whined. :(

After such a hot bike ride, I'm glad that I chose a light, cold meal. Chicken Salad! I have looked up and down and all around for a healthy version of Chicken Salad. You will find yogurt based salads but they all have just a bit of mayo and I am anti-mayo. So, I decided to make one up on my own. With a combination of the things in our fridge and things that both P and I liked, I'm impressed with the outcome and wouldn't doubt it if I make this one again! That says A LOT! I am really enjoying these cold salads for dinner- it's nice to avoid microwave and they always seem like a nice complement to a hot summer day.
