Ingredients 

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 cup seedless grapes, halved
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (use avocado oil mayonnaise for a healthier option)
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions 

  • In a mixing bowl, add the chicken, grapes, celery, red onion, and walnuts.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, and salt until smooth.
  • Pour the sauce into the bowl with the chicken and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  • Taste the chicken salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt, dijon mustard, or lemon juice if needed. Enjoy!

Notes

    • I prefer to shred the chicken instead of dicing it. This will help with the consistency of the salad as well as how well the dressing sticks to the chicken.
    • Let the salad sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
    • Check out the Serving Suggestions and Variations above for some ways to make this delicious chicken salad into a meal.
    • Feel free to experiment with the yogurt and mayo ratios. You can adjust them to your taste, use a dairy-free alternative, or even skip the mayo altogether.
