Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup celery finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup grapes halved (optional)
  • 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.

  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
