Chicken salad

Can we post-ops eat chicken salad made with Miracle Whip and celery? If so, what's an appropriate serving - 1/2 cup - 1 cup?

Hi Cathy, Sure, I eat that all the time. If you can tolerate it, I say go for it. Excellant source of protein and low fat too since Miracle Whip is lower in fat and calories than mayonaise. An average scoop would probably be about 1/4 to 1/2 cup...and how much you could eat would also depend on the size of the chicken...canned chicken vs. home cooked chicken etc. Makes a great lunch or fast dinner when it's just me eating!

Cathy, I make chicken salad with light mayo, celery, nuts ,apple and grapes. This is so good if you can tolerate the fruit. I chop up everything with a mini chopper except the grapes. I quarter them. See you lighter. Joanne Hammond OBESITY HELP SUPPORT GROUP CHAPTER LEADER.
