Creamy Chicken Salad with Roasted Red Peppers and Cilantro


Making chicken salad is a classic way of using leftover chicken, but it's usually loaded with mayo which can make it really heavy.

This chicken salad recipe has no mayo in it -- just Greek yogurt.

By swapping the mayo for non-fat yogurt, you're getting rid of a ton of fat and empty calories and adding calcium, protein, and a delicious tang.

I've made this recipe with everything from orange zest and oregano to lime juice and chipotle peppers. After you make the base of the chicken salad, it's really easy to customize it with the ingredients that you love most.

Leek, Turkey Bacon and Feta Frittata


This recipe is a great example of using what's in your fridge. I happened to have two dozen eggs, two leeks, and some turkey bacon that needed cooking.

I bought some feta and threw this together with some yogurt and lemon zest to help lighten up the eggs.

The result? A surprisingly light egg with some sweetness from the leeks, some smokiness from the bacon and pockets of salty, melty feta cheese.
