Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
  • 1½ cups seedless red grapes, halved
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • ¼ cup finely diced red onion
  • ½ cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Dressing Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  4. Chill Salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
