A delightful chicken salad featuring tender shredded chicken, juicy grapes, crunchy nuts, and a creamy dressing, perfect for warm weather picnics or light family dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup grapes, halved
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lettuce leaves (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, yogurt, diced celery, diced red onion, halved grapes, and chopped nuts.
  2. Add in the Dijon mustard along with salt and pepper, stirring the mixture until everything is well blended.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld beautifully.
