When thinking about making this recipe I was really looking forward to toasting the pecans myself but alas, I sent my mother to the grocery store to buy the ingredients and she came back with roasted pecans. That just means I'll have to make this again so that I can do it the right way!
The picture isn't the greatest for this recipe; I was trying to take it in a hurry. But what you see in it is a mayo-less chicken salad. A mixture of Greek yogurt and spices provides a substitute for mayo that feels much lighter. The grapes provide a nice, sweet taste that reminded me of the apple walnut tuna I used to make when I worked at a café. I served this on bread but it would also be wonderful on a bed of lettuce. If you're looking for a healthy meal remember that the darker the lettuce the better! Iceberg lettuce is just there to look pretty, you'll get the most nutrients from the darkest greens.
This one sandwich was filling but it didn't leave me feeling stuffed and my family loved the Greek yogurt mixture so much that they're using it as a substitute for mayo on other things and as a dip for veggies.
