Then, Jen showed me how she makes a mayo-less chicken salad awhile back, and I have since created my own version of it. It's high protein, lower carb, and I think goes great with these Blue Diamond Nut Thin Crackers (I prefer the Almond ones, or hint of Sea Salt ones). I take it to work as part of my main dish for lunch, and it fills me up easily.
- 1 Small Can White Meat Chicken
- 1/2 can of black beans
- Four wedges of Original or Blue Cheese Laughing Cow Cheese
- Three teaspoons Frank's Red Hot Sauce, Original Flavor (I just give about five or six good shakes of it in the mixture)
Granted, I added extra black beans into this particular one because I had more than half a can left, and didn't want them to go to waste. Also, I'm a lover off all things beans! I also love when eating gluten free can be this easy.

YUM! I love the idea of adding black beans to it!
Bookmarking this. It looks SO GOOD!!! Yum!!!
Did you drain the black beans or mix it with the juice in the can? I usually drain my beans before mixing it with my foods but wanted to double check. Looks good!
Hey Amanda,
I drain them, I should have added that!
Thanks. =)
