Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped or shredded
- 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
- 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced (optional)
- 1/3 cup toasted pecans or walnuts, chopped
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Chop or shred the cooked chicken, halve the grapes, and dice the celery, onion, and nuts.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt or sour cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, grapes, celery, red onion, and nuts.
- Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently toss to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

Notes
- Swap mayo for all Greek yogurt for a lighter version.

- Chopped apples can replace nuts for a crunchy, nut-free version.
- Leftover turkey works well instead of chicken.
- Add chopped parsley or tarragon for a fresh herb flavor.
