Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup Red grapes
- 2 stalks Celery
- 1 cup Crumbled blue cheese
- 0.5 cup Walnuts
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups Mixed greens or lettuce leaves
Instructions
Dice the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the red grapes in half and add them to the bowl with the chicken.
Chop the celery into small pieces and add it to the bowl.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant. Let them cool slightly, then roughly chop and add them to the bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir gently to combine, making sure everything is evenly coated.
Fold in the crumbled blue cheese, being careful not to break up the crumbles too much.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve over a bed of mixed greens or lettuce leaves, or use it as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
