Roquefort Chicken Salad

Talk about a challenge! Lots of mayo and a generous helping of Roquefort cheese heaped 38 grams of fat into the original salad. A clever switch to fat-free mayo and a few seasoning adjustments shaved off 33 of those fat grams, creating a healthful treat for fans of Roquefort.
