Macros are for one serving as written. Make gives you more servings of the same size; Portion resizes one serving and moves the macros with it.

Ingredients

  • 170g (6 oz) cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 100g (scant 1/2 cup) Greek yogurt, 0%
  • 60g (1 stick) celery, finely diced
  • 40g (1/3 small) onion, finely diced
  • 15ml (1 tbsp) lemon juice
  • 6-8 baby gem or butter lettuce leaves
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp salt, black pepper, fresh dill

7 ingredients, each with the gram weight the macros above were computed from.

Method

  1. Shred the chicken by hand rather than chopping it. Torn edges hold dressing; knife-cut cubes shed it.
  2. Soak the diced onion in cold water for 5 min, then drain it hard. This takes the harsh raw bite out without cooking anything.
  3. Whisk the yogurt, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper together in the bowl first, before the chicken goes anywhere near it.
  4. Fold in the chicken, celery and drained onion.
  5. Add the dill and taste. It will need more salt and more lemon than you think - cold food reads blander than warm.
  6. Let it sit 10 min if you have time. The celery softens very slightly and the dressing stops tasting like plain yogurt.
  7. Separate the lettuce leaves carefully and spoon the salad in just before eating.

How Plus works

Tip: fill the leaves at the table, never in advance. Salt draws water out of lettuce and a pre-filled cup is a puddle by lunchtime.
