Instructions
Start by preparing the dressing in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded or diced cooked chicken breast, celery, red grapes, green onions, and slivered almonds.
Pour the prepared dressing over the chicken mixture. Gently toss everything together until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For even better flavor, refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Serve the Chicken Salad Deluxe over fresh romaine lettuce leaves, as a sandwich filling with whole-grain bread or croissants, or in wraps for a portable meal option.
