Description

A light and creamy high-protein chicken salad made with Greek yogurt, grapes, and almonds. Ready in 10 minutes for a perfect meal prep lunch.


Ingredients

Scale

2 1/2 Cups Chicken (cooked and shredded)
3 Stalks Celery (chopped)
1/2 Red Onion (finely chopped)
1 Cup Grapes (cleaned and chopped)
1/4 Cup Parsley (chopped)
1/2 Cup Sliced Almonds
3/4 Cup Greek Yogurt
1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
1 Lemon (zested and juiced)
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
1 Teaspoon Crackers


Instructions

  1. Start by washing and preparing your grapes. Rinse them with water, then add them to a bowl of water with baking soda and sea salt and let them soak for 5 minutes to remove the film.
  2. Next, chop and shred your cooked chicken, then set it to the side.
  3. Then, chop and prepare all of your veggies- the celery, red onion, grapes, and parsley- then add them to the bowl with the chicken alongside the greek yogurt, dijon mustard, sliced almonds, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper.
  4. Mix well and taste. Adjust the sea salt and pepper as needed!
  5. Once done, serve with crackers and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to four days.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use chicken that is still slightly warm when shredding.
  • Soaking the grapes removes any waxy residue for a cleaner taste.
  • The salad tastes even better after chilling for a few hours as the flavors meld.
