9. Easy Greek Tzatziki Chicken Salad
Serve your leftover chicken salad on pita bread, just like what this Host the Toast recipe suggests! Better yet, use tzatziki instead of mayo to make your chicken salad! Tzatziki is a healthy condiment made up of awesome ingredients such as yogurt, lemon juice, cucumber, olive, and herbs. Try using it for your salad and we're sure you'll want to use it as a sauce for other chicken dishes as well.
10. Curried Tuna Salad
Made from canned tuna, mayo, chopped cashews, raisins, celery, and curry powder, this salad is definitely not boring. The combination of flavors, enhanced by the curry, plus the unique texture make this Eat Your Beets creation a force to be reckoned with in the salad world.
