LUNCH
Just in Thyme Chicken Salad
Ingredients
2 cups chicken, cooked & chopped
1/2 cup cashews
2 stalks celery, chopped
Small handful organic fresh Italian parsley, chopped (may also use curly parsley)
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
1/3 cup red onion, chopped
1/2 cup to 1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard
Splash of olive oil
Juice of ½ lemon
Directions
1. Place chicken, cashews, celery, parsley, thyme and onion in medium-sized bowl.
2. Mix lemon juice, yogurt and mustard (the secret ingredient) together in another bowl. Add splash of organic olive oil. Mix well.
3. Stir dressing over chicken
In this case, the walnuts and sunflower seeds provide both healthy fats and additional protein to make this breakfast last for several hours. The cinnamon and ginger serve to warm you up on cold days. Use whatever frozen fruit your family likes, but note that blueberries can change to color of the oatmeal to a weird blue.
