GREEK YOGHURT CHICKEN SALAD

This Greek Yoghurt Chicken Salad is a light, protein-packed take on the traditional creamy chicken salad. Using Greek yoghurt instead of mayonnaise adds a tangy flavour and creaminess while also offering a healthy boost of protein and probiotics. Chopped celery provides crunch, while sweet apple adds a refreshing sweetness that pairs perfectly with the savoury flavours. This salad is seasoned with fresh lemon juice, salt, celery stalk, cooked chicken breast and pepper, making it perfect for a quick, nutritious lunch or as a filling for sandwiches and wraps. It’s a simple yet versatile recipe that can be easily adapted to suit your taste.

VARIATIONS

  • Veggies Crunch: Add diced cucumber, red bell pepper or shredded carrots for added crunch and colour.
  • Creamy Avocado: For added creaminess, add a small amount of mashed avocado to the yoghurt dressing.
  • Herb Boost: Incorporate herbs like dill, parsley or chives for a fresh, herbaceous taste.
