Healthy Recipe: Nectarine & Almond Chicken Salad

I love making chicken salad for lunch; it's healthy, fast, inexpensive, and delicious. I have a lot of different recipes I like to use, but this is a good one that puts a new twist on the classic. (I actually entered it in a healthy recipe contest a couple years ago and made it to the semi-finals!)

Ingredients

6-8 ounces 2 percent plain Greek yogurt (like Fage)
2 cups of cooked chicken, chopped (use canned or leftovers)
1/2 cup of celery, chopped
1/4 cup dried nectarines, chopped
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1/4 cup slivered almonds
Salt and pepper to taste

To make, simply combine all the ingredients. Then serve on bread or a croissant, or with a side of crackers and some fresh crudites.

This recipe is great! The onions add a little zing and the almonds add texture along with healthy fats. And for how little you need in terms of ingredients, it makes a lot of chicken salad -- I got three very large servings out of it.
