Cucumber Cantaloupe Chicken Salad


Our family loves this salad - Fred was so excited when he saw what we were having for dinner tonight. I love it because, well it's tasty, but also because I can do the actual cooking (of the chicken) at night and I don't heat up the house during the day time. Get the recipe here.


Here's how the cost breaks down:

Chicken - $1.79 / lb, about $1.08 / chicken breast, used 3 - total $3.24
Cantaloupe - $.20 / lb at Buy Low - total $.57

Cucumber - $.59 each at Smith's

Yogurt - used Yoplait Yo+, $2.69 / 4, used $1.00 coupon here, used $1.00 cellfire coupon - total $.69 for 4, used 2, total - $.35

Mayonnaise - $1.99 at Target, used $1.00 coupon and $1.00 Target Coupon here - total Free

Tarragon - approximate cost $.50

Sourdough Bread - $1.99 at Smith's = $.15 / slice, used 4 - total $0.60

Grand Total - $5.85 for 4 servings, $1.46 for each serving

One Note - this salad does not keep well, so only make what you'll eat right away.
