The lighter side of Sonoma Chicken Salad

I love chicken salads and I especially like the Sonoma chicken salad from Costco, however it is anything but good for you dishing out around 400 calories per serving :0! So I made my version of it using most of the same ingredients just cutting down on the fat. Now you can just eat more of it right?
