Make this creamy, high-protein chicken salad using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. It is quick to prepare and perfect for healthy meal prep lunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2% recommended for creaminess)
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded chicken in a medium mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and dried dill until smooth.
  3. Add the chopped celery and minced red onion to the chicken.
  4. Pour the yogurt dressing over the chicken mixture.
  5. Use a spoon or spatula to gently fold all ingredients together until the chicken is evenly coated. Do not overmix.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
  7. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to combine.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add 1/4 cup of chopped pecans or slivered almonds.
  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, increase the lemon juice by one teaspoon.
  • This salad keeps well for up to four days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, making it ideal for meal prep.
