Chicken Salad

This is an easy lunch to make and take. It is good with left over grilled chicken or canned.
2 grilled chicken pieces (I prefer breasts) in medium diced pieces about 2 cups
1/2 c each,
cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
green onion, the white and the green
chopped cilantro
1/2 c cottage cheese
1/2 c sour cream (I use low fat or non fat)
Directions-
Mix together all ingredients, with cottage cheese. Add sour cream a little at a time until you reach desired consistancy. Serve with tortilla chips, on tostada shells, with crackers, or on top of a green salad.
The cucumber adds a nice crunch. If you make it with left over grilled chicken that is already seasoned, wait until it is all done to add salt or pepper. This is a really good use of leftover, chicken from chicken tacos, Pollo Asada, whole rotisserie chicken, or even thanksgiving turkey. It stores well for about three days, but it won't last that long. Hubby likes a little shredded cheese on top.
Sometimes, we do this as a trio of salads, chicken salad, egg salad and tuna salad or a green salad. That way it is really nice on a hot day.
