1 cup Plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
1 teaspoon Caraway seeds; crushed
½ teaspoon Ground cumin

¼ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Crushed red pepper
¼ teaspoon Black pepper
3 cups Boneless skinless chicken breasts; cooked and chopped

2¼ ounce Olives; drained and sliced

NOTES : Chicken salad is not just an American favorite. This enlivened variation features a fragrant mix of spices based on a traditional Tunisia= n blend. (For convenience's sake, we call for ground spices, but you can als= o use whole spices that you've roasted and ground yourself.) This salad is equally delicious chilled or served immediately. If you prefer, serve it o= n lettuce-lined plates for an even more colorful presentation.

Yield: 5 servings (serving size: 1 cup).
