Ingredients

2 cups chopped grilled chicken breast
1 medium apple diced
2 stalks celery diced
¼ cup diced red onion
2 Tablespoons chopped walnuts toasted, if you'd like
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons dijon mustard
sea salt and black pepper to taste
fresh thyme for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Grill chicken: See notes in post above for how to grill the chicken if you haven't done so already. Let cool, chop chicken into chunks and measure out two cups.
Mix together: Add chicken, diced apple, celery, onion and walnuts in a large bowl. In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice and mustard until combined.
Toss with dressing: Add dressing to the bowl with the chicken mixture and toss until everything is well combined. Top with fresh thyme, if using.
Serve: Serve salad as is, in a wrap, sandwich or as a topping for salad.
Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-5 days in the refrigerator. Unfortunately chicken salad doesn't freeze well so if you meal prep this salad plan to eat it within 3-5 days of making!

Notes

Add grapes: If you're a grape lover, you can totally add grapes in! Maybe start with 1/4 cup chopped grapes and use a bit less apple chunks.
