This is a great way to use a rotisserie chicken. Most of the other ingredients are probably in your pantry or refrigerator already, making this a snap to prepare. It's hard to believe the creamy dressing is fat free, so indulge without feeling guilty.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain, non-fat yogurt, drained
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin, or to taste
  • 2 cups chopped cooked skinless chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup chopped red pepper
  • 1/2 cup black beans, drained
  • 1/2 cup sweet corn, thawed if frozen, or drained if canned
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped

PREPARATION:

In a small bowl, blend mayonnaise, yogurt, lime juice and cumin. In a separate bowl, combine chicken, pepper, black beans, sweet corn, red onion and tomato. Stir in dressing. Serve on a bed of spinach leaves or make a wrap using a low fat, whole wheat tortilla.

Serves 4.
