Ingredients

  • 16 oz Cooked Chicken chopped or pulled*
  • 16 oz Seedless Cucumbers diced or cut into half moons
  • 16 oz Low Fat Cottage Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt

  • 2 Tablespoons 42g Honey
  • 1 Tablespoon 15g Rice Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon 15g Soy Sauce

Instructions

  • Cut the cucumbers to your desired size and place in a large bowl. Sprinkle a teaspoon of kosher salt over the top and gently toss. Set aside.
  • Use an immersion blender in the container of cottage cheese to blend until smooth. You can also transfer the cottage cheese to a blender or food processor.
