Ingredients

  • 1 lb cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 1 cup grapes, halved
  • 1/2 cup celery
  • 1/2 cup tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 3/4 cup 2% plain greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 1 tsp salt, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp dried dill weed
  • 1-2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped scallions, grapes, celery, tomatoes, and pecans.
  • To a second bowl, combine the greek yogurt, honey, mayo, salt, pepper, garlic powder, dill, and lemon juice. Whisk to thoroughly combine. Taste test and adjust the salt and pepper, as needed.
  • Combine the yogurt mixture with the chicken mixture and gently stir to combine.
  • Serve cold over a salad, in a sandwich, or with your favorite crackers.

STORE: Refrigerate in an airtight container for 4-5 days.

    Notes

     
    • NUTS: If you don't have pecans, substitute with slivered or sliced almonds. I recommend adding the nuts prior to eating if you prefer the extra crunch to your salad. Nuts will begin to soften as the salad sits.
    • MAYO: If you're not a fan, simply omit and add extra plain greek yogurt!
    • SALT: Season with salt and pepper to your taste preference. If the one teaspoon this recipe calls for seems too much for you, start with 1/4-1/2 tsp and add accordingly.
