Curried Chicken and Apple Lettuce Wraps
This wrap is a play on the regular and sometimes boring chicken salad sandwich, but without mayo and with the addition of sweet and crunchy apple and the spice of curry and turmeric.
1 cup (250 mL) diced cooked chicken breast
1/4 stalk celery, diced
1/4 cup (50 mL) apple, skin on, diced
Small handful cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup (50 mL) low-fat yogurt
1 tsp (5 mL) curry powder
Juice of one lemon
Pinch each salt and pepper
4 big leaves red or Boston lettuce (Be sure the lettuce you choose as your wrap is sturdy enough to hold in the chicken).
In a medium bowl, combine diced chicken, celery, apple and cilantro.
In a separate small bowl, stir together yogurt, curry powder and lemon juice. Add to chicken mixture and fold together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Lay washed lettuce leaves on a clean workspace. Place one-quarter of the chicken mixture on each leaf. Tuck in the sides of lettuce and roll up from the end. Cut rolls in half and secure leaves with a toothpick.
Serves four.

There is a problem with Low Fat products for me, they contain more sodium than there regular counter parts. I avoid these products and use the regular in small amounts.
Trying to keep my sodium intake to or under 1500 mgs of sodium per day keeps my blood pressure in control with my numbers well below 120/80. As they say "It Works For Me" and only I can control this issue.
