Pineapple Chicken Salad

I love a good chicken salad.  I think it is super hard to beat the chicken salad, that my friend, Pascha taught me how to make.  YUM!  But, I pinned this recipe and then I remembered that my friend, Julie, brought it over for lunch after McKinley was born.  It is SO good.  It has a unique flavor- really easy and good!

Of course, I changed up the recipe a bit, based on what I had in the house.  I'll put the changes I made, next to the real recipe, so you can decide which you would rather.  :)

Pineapple Chicken Salad

What You Need:
2 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast (about 1 pound)
1/2 cup matchstick-cut carrots
1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted- I used pecans
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions- I used purple onions
1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt- I just used additional mayo
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, drained 

What You Do:
Combine ingredients in a large bowl, stirring well. 

YUM!
