Description

A delightful combination of tender chicken, creamy dressing, and crunchy textures, making it perfect for quick lunches or light dinners.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/4 cup celery, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red grapes, halved
  • 1/4 cup toasted nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lettuce leaves (optional, for serving)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the shredded chicken, chopped celery, and halved grapes.
  2. Mix the Sauce: In a separate smaller bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and Dijon mustard. Stir until well blended.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the sauce over the chicken mixture and gently fold until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Add Nuts: Carefully fold in the toasted nuts to maintain some crunch.
  5. Season and Serve: Taste the chicken salad, then season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve on a bed of lettuce or spooned into sandwiches.
