Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad
Description
The salad features shredded chicken mixed with halved grapes, chopped celery, diced red onion, chopped salted almonds, fresh parsley, plain Greek yogurt, and Dijon mustard. Seasoned with salt and black pepper, the ingredients create a balanced blend of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. The Greek yogurt provides creaminess while cutting back on fat compared to mayonnaise-based versions.
The grapes add juicy sweetness and freshness that complement the savory chicken and crunchy elements like celery and almonds. The parsley adds a herbaceous note to the mix. The Dijon mustard lends a mild tang and depth to the dressing.
This chicken salad is suitable to serve as a sandwich filling with bread or wraps, a snack with crackers, or atop leafy greens for a light meal. It can be enjoyed immediately or chilled to meld flavors further.
The salad stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. For a touch of extra sweetness, adding a teaspoon of honey is an optional adjustment that complements the flavors.
