Curry Chicken Salad
I love this Curry Chicken Salad because of its sweet, spicy, savoury and tart flavour. Oh, and did I mention it was easy to make? The creamy dressing, made with Walmart Great Value Peach Yogurt, is the perfect complement to this salad’s crispy apples, tender chicken and crunchy almonds. Not only is it packed with flavour and super-simple to make, it's also easy on the wallet at just over $2 per serving!
All you need is cooked and cooled chicken and a selection of basic veggies. This meal is great for busy moms because it takes just 10 minutes to prepare. I love that this recipe is quick, healthy and most importantly, delicious. The peach yogurt paired with the curry paste creates a flavourful dressing that is a whole new level of tasty!

Greek-Style Chicken Legs and Potato Salad
Did you know that yogurt is also fabulous as a marinade for meats? It adds flavour and makes the meat oh so tender. For this Greek Chicken recipe we used Great Value Plain Yogurt to marinade chicken and as a dressing on yummy potato salad for a delicious meal that left us feeling full and content.
A yogurt marinade is less acidic than citrus version so itbreaks down proteins more slowly resulting in meats that are tender and moist. Let me tell you, after barbecuing, this chicken wassuper moist and delicious. My whole family loved this meal.
For this recipe, you can let your chicken legs marinate while you prepare the yogurt and fresh herb potato salad or for an extra flavour boost, let the marinating continue overnight. You just need Great Value Plain 0% Yogurt, lemon zest, cloves of garlic, salt, pepper, minced oregano leaves, chicken legs, red baby potatoes and fresh dill.
