What is Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad?
Greek yogurt chicken salad is a creamy chicken salad made by combining cooked and shredded chicken with Greek yogurt, crunchy vegetables, fresh herbs and a few flavorful additions.
Unlike traditional chicken salad, which is often made with mayonnaise-based dressing, this version uses plain Greek yogurt as the creamy base.
Greek yogurt adds a delicious tanginess along with extra protein, while Dijon mustard brings a subtle sharpness that balances the sweetness of the grapes.
The combination of tender chicken, juicy grapes, crisp celery, crunchy salted cashews and creamy yogurt gives this salad a wonderful contrast of textures and flavors in every bite.
