Ingredients

• 3 cups (shredded or diced) Cooked chicken breast
• 1 cup (halved) Red seedless grapes
• 2 stalks (diced) Celery
• 2 stalks (sliced thin) Green onion
• 0.5 cup (lightly toasted) Slivered almonds
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons (freshly squeezed) Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced cooked chicken, halved red seedless grapes, diced celery, sliced green onions, and toasted slivered almonds. Gently mix to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, plain Greek yogurt, honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the dressing is smooth and well-combined.

Step 3

Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold and mix the dressing into the chicken salad until everything is evenly coated.

Step 4

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.

Step 5

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Before serving, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Step 7

Serve chilled on its own, as a filling for sandwiches or wraps, or on a bed of fresh greens for a light salad.
