Sun Dried Tomato Chicken Salad

Tuscan style dishes usually contain sun-dried tomatoes and spinach in a creamy parmesan sauce which is a tasty combination of flavours that also works well in a chicken salad! Chicken salad is a dish that contains sliced or shredded chicken in a mayonnaise based dressing along with things such as diced celery, onions, etc. The creamy aspect is provided by the mayonnaise, and sliced sun-dried tomatoes and coarsely chopped spinach are added to finish the tuscan style flavours. I like to lighten up the dressing by replacing half of the mayonnaise with greek yogurt (or cottage cheese) and fresh basil and lemon juice brighten it up and make it more summery! I like to throw the sun-dried tomato chicken salad into sandwiches and wraps!
