Healthy Recipe for Diabetes - Chicken Salad

Ingredients   (Serves 8)
Salad
1 broiler-fryer chicken, roasted (3 1/2 pounds), or 1 1/2 pounds cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 large green apples, such as Granny Smith, unpeeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 celery stalks, thinly sliced
1 cup quartered dried apricots

Dressing
1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon grated peeled ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup minced white onion

Garnish
1/3 cup toasted chopped walnuts
Sprigs of watercress

Directions:


1    If using a whole roasted chicken, remove the meat from the bones and discard the skin and bones. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces, and place in a large serving bowl.
2    Squeeze the lime juice into a medium-size bowl. Add the apples to the juice. Toss until all of the pieces are well coated.
3    To the chicken, add the apples and any lime juice remaining in the bowl, the celery, and the apricots. Toss gently until well mixed.
4    In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, ginger, salt, and pepper. Fold in the onion. Spoon this dressing over the chicken mixture, and toss gently until all the pieces are coated well. Sprinkle the toasted walnuts on top of the salad, and garnish with the sprigs of watercress.
