Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, chilled and cubed (approx. 10 oz)
- 1/2 cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/8 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1/2 cup red grapes, halved
- 1/4 cup celery, finely diced
- 2 tbsp toasted walnuts
- 1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped
Instructions:
- Take 2 cups of pre cooked, chilled chicken breast and cube it into uniform 1/2 inch pieces. Note: Uniformity ensures even distribution of the dressing.
- Finely dice 1/4 cup of celery into 1/4 inch pieces until they look like small green gems.
- Slice 1/2 cup of red grapes lengthwise to reveal the juicy, bright interior.
- Heat 2 tbsp of walnuts in a dry pan for 3 minutes until they smell fragrant and toasted.
- In your large bowl, combine 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp Dijon mustard until the mixture is silky and pale yellow.
- Add 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp pepper to the dressing to ensure the seasoning is fully dissolved.
- Gently toss the cubed chicken into the dressing until every piece is thoroughly coated.
- Add the celery, grapes, and toasted walnuts, folding them in with a spatula until the colors are evenly marbled.
- Sprinkle 1 tbsp of fresh dill or parsley over the top and give it one last gentle stir.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until the flavors have fully married and the salad is cold.
