    This lightened up Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad will have you wondering why you ever needed to add mayo. It's filled with awesome texture - crunchy almonds and celery, chewy dried cranberries, and sweet apples and grapes. Creamy, filling, healthy and perfect for sandwiches throughout the week.

    Ingredients You'll Need:

    • Shredded or Cubed Cooked Chicken - this is the perfect use for leftover chicken or even a store-bought rotisserie chicken.
    • Plain Greek Yogurt - Full fat, 2% or nonfat works!
    • Grapes
    • Dried Cranberries
    • Celery
    • Apple
    • Slivered or Sliced Almonds
    • Lemon Juice
    • Garlic Powder, Salt, and Pepper

    Tips and Frequently Asked Questions:

    How should it be served?

    • On a Sandwich or Wrap
    • With Crackers
    • With Romaine or Butter Lettuce as Lettuce Wraps
    • Even on its own!

    How long do the leftovers last?

    This salad keeps very well in the fridge. I love mixing up a batch for meal prep. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for about 4 days.

    I don't usually like Greek Yogurt, can I use Mayo?

    While you certainly can use mayo to make this more like a traditional chicken salad, I find that the Greek Yogurt works as a perfect healthy swap in this recipe. It has the same creamy and thick consistency but with a slight tang that goes so well in the salad.

    Does this recipe double well?

    Yes! I often double or even triple this recipe when I want to feed a crowd! No changes need to be made to the recipe steps other than using a bigger bowl.
