Chicken Salad with Grapes and Greek Yogurt
Creamy chicken salad with grapes made with Greek yogurt. Lighter, tangy, and perfect for meal prep or sandwiches all week.
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
- 1 cup celery, small diced
- ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken, such as from a rotisserie chicken
- ¼ cup sliced toasted almonds
Instructions
- Make the Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Make the Salad: To the same bowl, add the grapes, celery, and red onion, stirring to combine. Add the chicken and almonds, and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
- Taste and Chill: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes or overnight for the flavors to combine.
Notes
- Yogurt: I’ve tested this with both whole milk and low-fat Greek yogurt. The whole milk version adds a little extra richness, while the low-fat gives you a lighter texture and a bit more protein. Both work great, so just go with whatever you have or prefer. Nutrition information calculated with low-fat.
- Mayo: Feel free to adjust the yogurt-to-mayo ratio depending on your preferences. More yogurt for a lighter feel, more mayo if you want it extra creamy.
