Chili Garlic Chicken Salad

If you are a regular reader of my blog, then you know how much I like sandwiches.  They are the most convenient thing to make for lunchtime meals, so we tend to have them quite often.  To keep things interesting, I try to come up with new variations of chicken and tuna salads. This morning, I was trying to think up a new recipe for chicken salad. I went searching through my pantry for inspiration, and spotted a jar of Huy Fong Chili Garlic Sauce. If you haven’t tried this stuff yet, then you are missing out. It’s spicy and wonderfully garlicky! Two of my favorite things. Huy Fong Foods is the maker of  the world famous Sriracha chili sauce, also known as “Rooster Sauce”.

I had some fresh baby spinach in the fridge, which I thought would be a great addition to this sandwich. I was right. It paired perfectly with the other flavors of the chicken salad. I used some leftover hamburger buns that I had on hand, but you can use whatever bread you prefer. This chicken salad would probably also be great served in lettuce cups.

* You can adjust the amount of Chili Garlic Sauce to suit your own desired heat level. You can always start with one tablespoon and add more from there. *

Servings 4
Author Tempie

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp . chili garlic sauce ( can be found with the Asian foods at grocery store)
  • 2 tbsp . plain non-fat greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp . light mayo
  • 1 tbsp . fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp . ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp . salt
  • 1 (12.5 oz.) can of white meat chicken
  • 1 small carrot , grated
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • baby spinach
  • 4 whole-wheat or whole-grain hamburger buns

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, yogurt, lime juice, chili garlic sauce, cumin, and salt. Set aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  • Place chicken into a medium bowl and flake gently with a fork. Add the onions, celery and carrot to the bowl.
  • Pour in the dressing and mix until well combined. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
  • Place a handful of baby spinach onto bottom bun and top with one-fourth of the chicken salad. Finish with top bun.

Notes

If you prefer a drier chicken salad, you can reduce the amount of mayo or yogurt. You can adjust the amount of Chili Garlic Sauce to suit your own desired heat level. You can always start with one tablespoon and more from there.
