Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad
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 craisins, and sweet apples and grapes.
The greek yogurt provides just enough creaminess without the heaviness of the mayo. Thanks to the lemon juice and garlic powder it still has great flavor.
I love it served on some toasted bread or even with some romaine or butter lettuce leaves as lettuce wraps if you really wanna get extra #healthy. It keeps well in the fridge for a few days so go ahead and mix some up for lunch meal prep or to bring along for a picnic.
This lightened up chicken salad has amazing texture - crunch from the almonds and celery, chewiness from the craisins, and sweet and juiciness from the apples and grapes. No guilt thanks to substituting greek yogurt for the mayo. Perfect for you weekday lunch prep or your next picnic or potluck.
