Canyon Ranch Hawaiian Chicken Salad Recipe (Access Hollywood Live)

Eating healthy should always be a top priority. Spring is just a week away, and that means Summer isn’t far behind and we should all start thinking beach season.

Canyon Ranch’s top chef, Scott Uehlein, stopped by Access Hollywood Live to share his newest healthy creation, a Hawaiian Chicken Salad with Mango Puree.

This recipe makes 8 entree servings and is only 90 calories each. Sounds good!

Ingredients:

1 tbs minced garlic

1/4 cup champagne vinegar

2 tbs. Dijon mustard

2 tbs. water
