  1. Healthy Recipe- Chicken Salad

    Here’s an example of how a simple chicken salad can go from mundane to magnificent with a strategic switch of a few ingredients. Greek yogurt mixed with a little olive oil is a lighter and healthier replacement for mayonnaise. Fresh fennel subs for celery while supplying a hint of licorice-like flavor. And green peas and mint usher in springtime. The magic ingredient that takes this mixture over the top is za’atar, a fragrant blend of Middle Eastern spices that tastes floral, earthy, tangy, and nutty. If it’s not already in your spice rack, it’s well worth seeking out – many supermarkets now carry it.
