Tangy Chicken Salad with Grapes

Drescription

Sweet red grapes and crunchy celery make this chicken salad sing, and also balance the slight tang from the yogurt and lemon. But go ahead and customize the mix-ins with whatever you desire (perhaps some chopped nuts or dried fruit) because this chicken salad recipe is easily adaptable. We use rotisserie chicken (look for unseasoned to keep sodium in check!) to simplify things, but any leftover cooked chicken will work.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup canola mayonnaise
  • ½ cup plain whole-milk greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 5 cups chopped rotisserie chicken breast
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • 1 cup halved red seedless grapes
  • ¼ cup sliced scallions, divided
  • 1 head butter lettuce

Directions

  1. Stir together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 teaspoon Dijon and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until combined. Add 5 cups chopped chicken, 1/2 cup celery, 1 cup grapes and 3 tablespoons scallions, and toss to combine. Serve on 1 head of butter lettuce leaves, and top with the remaining scallions.
