Begin by cutting the low-fat turkey or chicken breast slices into thin strips. Aim for strips approximately 1 cm wide for an ideal texture.
Dice the pickles into small pieces. Ensure they are uniformly chopped for even distribution in the salad.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat yogurt and low-fat mayonnaise. Stir until you achieve a smooth mixture.
Add the Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar to the yogurt-mayonnaise mixture. Mix thoroughly to blend all flavors.
Season the dressing with salt and black pepper, adjusting according to taste preferences.
Fold in the sliced turkey or chicken and chopped pickles into the dressing. Make sure all ingredients are well coated with the seasoned mixture.
Add the chopped fresh parsley to the salad and gently stir to combine.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salad rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld.
Serve cold, either as a side dish or as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
