Description
A bright, creamy salad made with tender shredded chicken, crisp celery, juicy red grapes, and crunchy toasted nuts, all tied together with a tangy sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/4 cup celery, chopped
- 1/4 cup red grapes, halved
- 1/4 cup toasted nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lettuce leaves (for serving)
Instructions
- Combine the Base: In a large bowl, add the shredded cooked chicken, chopped celery, and halved red grapes. Toss gently to distribute the mix-ins evenly.
- Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, plain Greek yogurt, and Dijon mustard until smooth and blended.
- Dress the Salad: Pour the sauce over the chicken mixture and fold gently until everything is evenly coated.
- Add Nuts: Fold in the toasted nuts until distributed.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve on lettuce leaves as cups or assemble into sandwiches.
Notes
For a creamier texture, let the salad rest in the fridge for 20–30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
