Greek yogurt is a great substitute ingredient for mayonnaise. And in my chicken salad with greek yogurt recipe you won’t be missing the mayonnaise one bit! Actually, it transforms your traditional chicken salad from a high calorie meal to a low calorie protein bomb! Because this salad only takes about 10 minutes to make, it’s perfect to quickly prepare this in the morning and pack for lunch. I love how it has a perfect balance between being fresh and light, but also filling with a crunchy bite (rhyming not intended, haha!). I use my own homemade greek yogurt for this recipe, which you can do as well! I’ve said it before, but I just love how diversely greek yogurt can be used. Wether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert or a smoothie. Greek yogurt will always be at your side!
You don’t necessarily have to make wraps. Creating a healthy chicken sandwich by spreading this delicious salad on a toasted ciabatta is also definitely worth a try! Now what are you waiting for? This easy and healthy chicken salad with greek yogurt, grapes, apples and more will make your day, that’s a guarantee ;)
