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.
