A crisp, creamy mix of diced cooked chicken, tart apples, sweet grapes, crunchy walnuts, and celery tossed in a lemony Greek yogurt dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or 2% for best creaminess)
  • 1 medium apple, cored and chopped (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 3/4 cup grapes, halved (red or green)
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 12 teaspoons lemon juice (fresh)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. If you don’t have cooked chicken, roast or poach breasts first.
  2. Core and dice the apple into bite-sized pieces; toss with lemon juice if not using immediately.
  3. Halve grapes and chop celery and walnuts.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. In a large bowl, add the diced chicken, apples, grapes, celery, and walnuts.
  6. Pour the yogurt dressing over and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Notes

For maximum crunch, add nuts just before serving. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
