Prepare a fresh, tangy chicken salad using a creamy Greek yogurt base instead of mayonnaise. This recipe includes bacon and crisp apple for texture and is suitable for quick lunches or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup crisp apple, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup celery, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded chicken in a medium bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. This is your dressing.
  3. Pour the dressing over the shredded chicken. Mix gently until the chicken is evenly coated.
  4. Fold in the crumbled bacon, diced apple, diced celery, and fresh parsley.
  5. Stir everything together until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute the Greek yogurt with a plain, unsweetened dairy-free yogurt alternative or mashed avocado.
  • If you prefer a sweeter salad, increase the honey by one teaspoon.
  • This salad holds well for meal prepping for up to four days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
