Steps
Prepare Chicken
Boil the chicken breast in lightly salted water for about 15-20 minutes until fully cooked. Let it cool, then shred or dice it into small pieces.
Chop Vegetables
Finely dice the celery stalks and red onion. Roughly chop the fresh dill.
Make Dressing
In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine & Chill
Add the diced chicken, chopped celery, red onion, and dill to the dressing. Mix thoroughly, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Extra Tips
► For an even richer flavor, add a handful of toasted walnuts or almonds to the salad.
► If you enjoy sweeter flavors, include a few raisins or finely diced apples.
► Serve it with toast, on a bed of lettuce, or as a sandwich filling with whole wheat bread.
