I would make my own so I could calculate the points.

The deli ones are loaded with full fat mayo so would be high in points.

I was going to suggest doing the same thing. Make your own using low fat mayo, mustard, maybe some avacado? Try to use less mayo and more veggies!

yes! at home chicken or egg salad (using mostly whites) is not high in points at all!!

Re: Chicken Salad

I make it myself. When I first started WW, we were talking about all the fillers and various ingredients they put in tuna salad and chicken salad so now I make it.

Put the chicken in hte slow cooker with some water and broth, it will shred so easily.

I like to use light mayo and some avocado (I can't stand the tang of yogurt in it) then I add whatever veggies I have on had as well so I feel like its heartier and more nutritious than what I would buy elsewhere!

Re: Chicken Salad

at home for sure.

I use one full can of the Kirkland chopped chicken-4pts

3 tsp on miracle whip-3pts

1 tsp on spicy brown mustard-0 pts
**the mustard adds a bit of spice & flavor as plain miracle whip isn't too great to me

and onions & parsley- 0 pts

So the entire service is 7points. I skip the bread, but because its a lot of chicken, its filling to me.

Re: Chicken Salad

I made a waldorf style one the other day. Bought a whole chicken and shredded it al off the bone. Then combined 1 cup of greek yogurt with 1tsp of honey, cut up some grapes(you can also add walnuts) mixed it all together.
