Cooking With Costco: Chicken Salad with Watermelon and Peaches



Tina's recipe of the week comes from the latest issue of Costco Connection -- a summer classic that offers a sweet and simple twist on the classic chicken salad. We're taking our's to the beach along with a couple bottles of Elena Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley. Got the second bottle for 5 cents at BevMo!, voted L.A. Times Readers Choice Award for Best Liquor Store. No surprise there.


3 cups chopped cooked chicken (We used Costco’s rotisserie chicken)
1 cup plain yogurt
½ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon fresh dill
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
2 peaches seeded and chopped
2 cups chopped and seeded watermelon
Greens or mini-baguettes

Mix together chicken, yogurt, mayonnaise, dill and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, gently mix in chopped peaches and watermelon. Serve over greens or inside spilt mini-baguettes. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
