Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded chicken (280g), rotisserie or cooked chicken
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped (60g)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, chopped (30g)
  • 1/2 cup grapes, quartered
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (5g)
  • 2 tablespoons walnuts, chopped (15g)
  • For Dressing: 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (~120g)
  • 1-2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • Juice of 1 large lemon (~30ml)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
