This high-protein chicken salad uses a dilled cottage cheese "mayo" instead of traditional mayo. This increases the overall protein content of the salad by about 20 grams! An immersion blender quickly whips up the mayo in a quart jar. If you don't have one, then a small food processor can be used instead. Serve chicken salad over a bed of baby arugula or lettuce leaves.
