Ingredients
- □ 1 cups 2 ½ cups cooked chicken, chopped or shredded (I like using canned chicken breast for convenience, but cooked rotisserie chicken works beautifully)
- □ ½ cup 1/2 cup diced celery
- □ ½ cup 1/2 cup red seedless grapes, halved or quartered depending on size
- □ ¼ cup 1/4 cup sliced almonds (or chopped pecans as an alternative)
- □ ¼ cup 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
- □ ¼ cup 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- □ 1 tbsp 1 tbsp dried minced/chopped onion
- □ 2 tsp 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- □ ¼ tsp 1/4 tsp celery salt (or regular salt if needed)
- □ 1 tsp 1 tsp honey
- □ 1 I start by placing the chopped or shredded chicken in a large mixing bowl. Then, I add the diced celery, halved grapes, and sliced almonds. In a separate small bowl, I whisk together the light mayo, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, dried minced onion, and celery salt until smooth.
- □ 1 Next, I pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently fold everything together, making sure each bite is coated without mashing the grapes.
