Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 cup cooked chicken breast, chopped
- 0.75 cup plain Greek yogurt 2% preferred for creaminess
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise optional, for a richer texture
- 1.5 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1.5 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp olive oil optional, adds silkiness
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.75 tsp kosher salt adjust to taste
- 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 0.75 cup celery, diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1.25 cup red grapes, halved
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 cup sliced almonds lightly toasted
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Toast almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
- Whisk yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Add chicken, celery, red onion, grapes, dill, and cooled almonds to the bowl.
- Fold everything together until the chicken is evenly coated in the dressing.
- Chill 10–15 minutes to let the flavors meld, then taste and adjust seasoning.
Notes
Variation: Swap grapes for a crisp diced apple or add a spoonful of honey for subtle sweetness. Serve in lettuce cups, tucked into toasted whole-grain bread, or spooned over mixed greens. Store airtight in the fridge up to 3–4 days; stir before serving.
