Looking for a "different" protein salad lunch option? Here's a favorite that's totally Kimkins low carb friendly!
We've all seen Belgian endive in the produce section of our store and wondered, "What would I do with it?" This pretty hors d'oeurve was practically created for endive!
By the way, endive is pale because it's grown in near darkness (light is what creates green color through photosynthesis in veggies). Fresh endive is very pale, so skip the darker types which indicate it's been exposed to light for awhile and is old.
Ingredients (makes 8)
- 1 head endive
- 3 oz cooked chicken (or canned tuna, crab or salmon)
- 2 tbsp spinach, cooked and well drained
- 2 tsp light mayo
- 2 tsp plain yogurt or 1/2 tsp mustard
- 1/4 tsp dill, dried or fresh (optional)
- 1/4 tsp curry (optional)
- 1 tsp crushed walnuts (optional for crunch)
In a small bowl mix mayo, yogurt or mustard, dill, pepper. Add salt to taste. Mix well and add walnuts or pine nuts (optional). Finely dice or grind chicken breast. Add mayo mixture, blend and fill endive boats with small spoonfuls of chicken salad recipe.
Top each with a dollop of spinach and enjoy!
