Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps
Description
Starting with boneless, skinless chicken breast seasoned and sautéed briefly to retain moisture, this chicken salad blends fruit and nuts for varied texture and flavor. Celery and red onion add savory crunch, while grapes, diced apple, and dried cranberries contribute sweetness and juiciness. Chopped almonds lend a nutty crispness to the mix.
The dressing combines plain Greek yogurt with mayonnaise and lemon juice, providing a creamy base with a subtle tang that complements the fruit and savory components. The chicken mixture is tossed with the dressing to coat evenly and seasoned further with salt and pepper as needed.
The salad is served on individual Boston bibb lettuce or romaine leaves to create handheld wraps that are crisp and refreshing. These wraps make a convenient and light meal option, suitable for warmer weather or a quick lunch.
