Once Atkins followers get to the OWL (Ongoing Weight Loss) carb re-introduction ladder, they can occasionally have a bit of fruit. I only allow myself to indulge a couple times a month, but it sure is nice. Sometimes we like to have salads as our main course, and my favorite is a good Waldorf Salad.
If you use mostly (or all) peeled jicama for the apple in a classic Waldorf Salad, the carbs will be less. But quite honestly, a little real apple greatly helps in taste. The nutritional stats below reflect the apple as stated in the recipe. As a result, this dish isn’t Induction friendly, but it isn’t half bad with just jicama, if you want to try it that way until you graduate out of the Induction Phase. 🙂
INGREDIENTS:
1 13 oz. can chicken meat (water pack only), well-drained and flaked apart

3/4 c. walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 c. diced celery
¼ c. homemade mayo
DIRECTIONS: Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl with a spoon and serve in a pretty serving dish (over lettuce if you like).
