A fresh, creamy, and protein-packed chicken salad made with Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. This healthy and flavorful salad combines tender chicken, juicy grapes, crunchy celery, almonds, and herbs for an easy lunch or light dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup grapes, halved
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup salted almonds, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded or chopped cooked chicken into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the halved grapes, diced celery, chopped red onion, sliced almonds, and fresh parsley.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. Pour the yogurt dressing over the chicken mixture.
  5. Stir everything together until evenly coated and well combined.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Chill the chicken salad for 15 to 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for a quick shortcut.
  • Swap grapes for diced apples or dried cranberries for a different flavor variation.
  • Pecans or pistachios can replace the almonds.
  • Add dill or chives for extra freshness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This salad is best served cold and should not be reheated.
  • If the salad thickens after storage, stir in a little extra yogurt before serving.
