Ingredients

Chicken Salad Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • ½ cup grapes, halved
  • ½ cup chopped celery
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped salted almonds
  • ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the shredded chicken, halved grapes, chopped celery, diced red onion, plain Greek yogurt, chopped salted almonds, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, black pepper, and fine sea salt.
  2. Toss to Mix: Toss all the ingredients thoroughly to combine evenly. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning by adding more Greek yogurt, salt, or pepper as desired for your preferred flavor and creaminess.
  3. Serve or Chill: Enjoy the chicken salad immediately or refrigerate it before serving. It tastes great served with crackers as a snack or appetizer, on bread or a wrap for a sandwich, or over a bed of fresh greens for a light meal.
  4. Store Properly: Place any leftover salad in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for 3-5 days, perfect for make-ahead meals or snacks.

Notes

  • This chicken salad is best enjoyed chilled, allowing flavors to meld together.
  • You can substitute salted almonds with unsalted and add a pinch more salt if preferred.
  • For added texture, consider adding chopped apples or grapes for extra sweetness.
  • Using plain Greek yogurt reduces fat and adds protein compared to mayonnaise-based salads.
