A light and healthy chicken salad made with creamy Greek yogurt and sweet grapes, perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (about 10 oz) cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 cup seedless red or green grapes, halved
  • 2 medium celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds or chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken by shredding or chopping cooked chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces (about 2 cups). Let cool if warm.
  2. Finely dice celery stalks and red onion. Halve the grapes. Chop fresh dill or parsley if using.
  3. Toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Let cool.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Add the shredded chicken, chopped celery, onion, grapes, toasted nuts, and herbs to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold to combine, taking care not to crush the grapes.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
  7. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to meld flavors.

Notes

Gently fold ingredients to keep grapes intact. Toast nuts for extra flavor. Can be served immediately or chilled for better flavor melding. Substitute dairy-free yogurt and seeds for nuts for allergies or dietary preferences. Variations include swapping grapes for apples or cucumbers.
