Sonoma Chicken Salad

A delightful twist on a classic dish combining shredded chicken, sweet grapes, and crunchy pecans for a healthy and refreshing lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded chicken (use freshly cooked or rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 cup red grapes (halved)
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (store separately until ready to serve)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. If using unprepared chicken, cook it by boiling, baking, or grilling until fully cooked. Let it cool and shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Wash the red grapes and slice them in half. Dice the red onion and celery.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, halved grapes, diced red onion, and diced celery.
  4. In another bowl, prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, poppy seeds, sea salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and mix carefully until all ingredients are coated. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Notes

To keep pecans crunchy, store separately and add them just before serving. Enjoy served on greens, in a sandwich, or as a dip.
