This Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad is a creamy, protein-packed lunch that’s both light and delicious. Swapping mayo for Greek yogurt adds a tangy twist while keeping it healthy. Mix in some crunchy celery, juicy grapes, and a touch of Dijon for a simple, refreshing meal that’s ready in minutes.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped (rotisserie works great)
½ cup plain Greek yogurt (whole or low-fat)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup diced celery
¼ cup chopped red onion (optional)
½ cup halved red grapes (or diced apple)
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or dill (optional)
1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Make the Dressing
In a large bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Combine the Salad
Add in chicken, celery, onion, grapes (or apple), and fresh herbs. Stir until everything is evenly coated in the dressing.
Taste and Adjust
Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste. Chill for 15–30 minutes if you want the flavors to meld.
Serve
Scoop onto toast, stuff into pita or lettuce wraps, or enjoy straight from the bowl.
Notes
This salad keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Add chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts) for extra crunch.
For a Mediterranean twist, try adding cucumber, olives, or feta cheese.
