Bobbie's Note: This was delicious! I doubled the recipe and took it to my

compliments. Many had more than one helping. I will make this again!

BBQ Chicken Salad with Diced Cucumbers and Yogurt Sauce (Greek-like)

Recipe By :Art Guyer and Candice Valencia
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 14-06 Jun 2011

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
10 cups BBQ Chicken, boned and cut up
1 medium sweet onion, finely diced
1 bunch cilantro, chopped

Dressing:
2 cups light mayonnaise
1 cup light sour cream
2 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons mustard
1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Yogurt Sauce:
2 cups non-fat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon dried dill, or a bit more
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin

1 large cucumber
6 large wheat pitas

Grind (in a food grinder) or mince (in a food processor) the BBQ chicken.
Combine with the onion and cilantro. Set aside.

Combine the dressing ingredients; season to taste. Fold the dressing into
the meat mixture. If necessary, add additional sour cream to reach the
desire consistency. Adjust seasoning to taste. Seal and place in
refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.

Combine the yogurt sauce ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Peel the cucumber and dice into quarter-inch pieces. Refrigerate until
ready to serve.

When ready to serve, cut pitas in half. Each person can take a pita half,
fill it about 2/3's with meat mixture, add diced cucumbers and drizzle
yogurt sauce on top.

Serves: 12, depending on how much chicken you use and how much you shove
into the pita half!

Notes
This morning Doris and I saw a chef on TV make small chicken burgers, fry
them and put them in pitas with cucumber and yogurt sauce. Doris said, "We
could do something like that with the leftover chicken." And so we did and
had it for dinner tonight. We all thought it turned out very well.
Actually, it was damn good. Candice made the yogurt sauce, which really
hit the spot. Candice had grilled the chicken on Saturday (a lot of it)
and we had leftovers Sunday, the chicken salad tonight, some for Talia's
lunch tomorrow and enough for dinner tomorrow night. Of course, all 6 of
us were not home for dinner most of the weekend.

Bison Feta Burgers (Gail Hall)

Recipe By : Gail Hall
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 14-06 Jun 2011

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound ground bison*
1 large egg
1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs **
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 tablespoons feta cut into 4 cubes
4 crusty hamburger buns
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons mustard
4 thick slices tomato ***
Your favourite greens (sprouts, lettuce, Arugula, etc.)

In a bowl, combine the ground bison, egg, fresh bread crumbs, 
chopped herbs, onion, salt and peppers. Mix well. Form into 
4 burgers. Into the centre of each, stuff a piece of feta 
and cover/seal with burger. Flatten into 4 round burgers. To 
cook, either barbecue outside or fry indoors. To barbecue, 
heat up barbecue and grill on medium high, turning only once, 
for 6 to 8 minutes, until centre is no longer pink. To fry, 
use a heavy skillet and heat 2 tbsp of olive oil on medium 
high. Add burgers and sauté on each side for several minutes 
(turning only once). Turn down heat and continue to sauté 
until centre is no longer pink (about 8 to 10 minutes total 
frying time).

Grill or toast your hamburger buns and dress with mayonnaise, 
mustard, tomato and greens. Don't forget to add the burger. 
Lot's of napkins may be required.

Gail's notes:
*Ground Bison is 30% lower in cholesterol than ground beef. 
First Nature Farm 's bison is grass fed, hormone and 
antibiotic free.

**If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, just substitute 
using 1/3 of dried herbs for fresh.

***Doef's or Gulls are by far the best choice for tomatoes. 
Yes, they are more expensive, but when you consider they are 
locally grown and picked within days of appearing at the 
market, you know you are getting ripe and nutrient rich 
tomatoes, and after all, you are worth it!

Yield: 4 burgers.
