Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad (Healthy & Creamy)

Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad (Healthy & Creamy)

This Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad is a lighter, protein-packed twist on the classic. Creamy Greek yogurt replaces mayo for a tangy, refreshing flavor, while crisp celery, juicy grapes, and tender chicken make it perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or meal prep lunches.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded

  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full-fat)

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped

  • 1/3 cup red grapes, halved

  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced

  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, chopped

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth.

  2. Add chicken, celery, grapes, red onion, and fresh herbs.

  3. Gently fold until evenly coated.

  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Chill for 15–30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
