I thought this was OK but very rich. I could only eat one and a half shells.

It is important to involve as many of the senses as possible for a quality dish. This Chicken Salad Shells catches your eye [1], has good aroma[2], only fair taste[3] and those are the good points.

This falls short by being a calorie, fat, and sodium laden dish. Yes it is 'quick' to prepare, but the longrange nutritional value will cost you days of more costly workouts.

If you 25 minutes to prepare your own chicken salad, using low fat and low sodium plain yogart, celery, dried cranberries or raisins, walnuts and a lite dressing, this would recieve 5 stars.

FYI - Protien should be equal to 3 times Fat contents.
