Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together mayo, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, mustard, garlic paste, salt, and pepper until combined.
  2. Mix in the shredded chicken, craisins, walnuts, celery, and ½ of the scallions.
  3. Portion chicken salad onto bread with lettuce and serve.

Notes

  • Lime juice can replace lemon juice if desired.
  • 2-3 cooked and shredded chicken breasts can replace the rotisserie chicken.
  • The flavors will build the longer this salad chills in the refrigerator but is still delicious when consumed right after making.
  • Sour cream may be used in place of yogurt. 
  • For a less mayo-y flavor, you could do ½ and ½ mayo and yogurt or sour cream.
