A light, creamy, and protein-packed chicken salad made with Greek yogurt instead of mayo. It’s fresh, tangy, and perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or enjoying on its own.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken, chopped or shredded
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion or green onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup sliced almonds, chopped apples, or grapes

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  2. Fold in chopped chicken, celery, onion, and herbs until well combined.
  3. Adjust seasoning with more lemon juice or mustard if needed.
  4. Chill for at least 15 minutes for best flavor, or serve immediately.
  5. Serve in lettuce cups, on toast, in wraps, or with crackers.

Notes

  • Use nonfat, low-fat, or full-fat Greek yogurt based on preference.

  • Mix in nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
  • Substitute canned chicken for convenience.
  • Great for meal prep — keeps well for several days.
