Description
A simple, high-protein chicken salad made with rotisserie chicken, grapes, walnuts, and Greek yogurt instead of mayo. It requires zero cooking and comes together in under 10 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (about 400g)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
- 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
- ½ cup walnuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks, discarding skin and bones.
- Wash and pat dry the grapes, then slice them in half. Dice the celery and finely mince the red onion.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Add the shredded chicken, halved grapes, diced celery, and chopped walnuts to the bowl with the dressing.
- Gently fold everything together with a spatula until the chicken and grapes are evenly coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld, or serve immediately.
Notes
For best flavor, chill for 30 minutes before serving. This salad keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Do not freeze as the yogurt will separate. If the salad is too dry, add more yogurt or olive oil. If too watery, ensure you used full-fat yogurt and dried ingredients well.
