Name: Healthy Chicken Salad Recipe with Grapes
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 ½ cups cooked chicken, chopped or shredded (I like using canned chicken breast for convenience, but cooked rotisserie chicken works beautifully); 1/2 cup diced celery; 1/2 cup red seedless grapes, halved or quartered depending on size; 1/4 cup sliced almonds (or chopped pecans as an alternative); 1/4 cup light mayonnaise; 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt; 1 tbsp dried minced/chopped onion; 2 tsp apple cider vinegar; 1/4 tsp celery salt (or regular salt if needed); 1 tsp honey; I start by placing the chopped or shredded chicken in a large mixing bowl. Then, I add the diced celery, halved grapes, and sliced almonds. In a separate small bowl, I whisk together the light mayo, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, dried minced onion, and celery salt until smooth.; Next, I pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently fold everything together, making sure each bite is coated without mashing the grapes.

I don’t usually freeze chicken salad with grapes because the grapes can become mushy when thawed. For longer storage, I recommend freezing the chicken separately and adding the grapes and dressing when ready to eat.
