Best Chicken Salad

Components:

  1. Two cups of cooked chicken, chopped or shredded (rotisserie chicken works excellent for this).
  2. one-half cup mayonnaise
  3. 1/4 cup Greek yogurt; add more if you want it creamy.
  4. One spoonful of mustard dijon
  5. One tablespoon of lemon juice
  6. 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  7. 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  8. Half a cup of grapes (you may use green or red ones)
  9. 1/4 cup of toasted nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, are optional.
  10. To taste, add salt and pepper.
  11. Fresh herbs (parsley, dill, etc. are optional).

Guidelines:

  • Mix the Base: Using a large bowl, thoroughly combine together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (if using), Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
  • Add the chicken and stir until it is well coated in the dressing.
  • Stir in Fruits and Veggies: Stir in the nuts (if using), celery, and red onion. Fold everything together gently.
  • Season: To taste, add salt and pepper. Add a little fresh herb mixture for flavor, if preferred.
  • Chill: To ensure that the flavors merge, cover and chill for at least half an hour.
  • Serve: Snack on some crackers, a sandwich, or a bed of greens!

Advice:

  • Feel free to alter by adding components for a different twist, such as sliced apples, avocado, or even a pinch of curry spice!
  • Cut back on the mayonnaise and up the Greek yogurt for a lighter version.

Savor the chicken salad!
