Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 3 cups cooked and diced chicken breasts (about 3 breasts)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey mustard
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1/2 cup grapes (sliced)
  • 2 stalks celery (diced)
  • 1/2 cup cashews
  • Kosher salt and black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Directions:

  • Start by cooking your chicken breasts if they aren’t pre-cooked. You can bake, boil, or grill them until fully cooked. Once cooled, dice them into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of honey mustard, and 1 tablespoon of curry powder. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  • Once the dressing is ready, add the diced chicken to the bowl. Gently fold the chicken into the yogurt mixture, ensuring every piece is coated.
  • Next, add the sliced grapes, diced celery, and cashews to the chicken mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  • Sprinkle in kosher salt and black pepper according to your taste preferences. Mix again to ensure the seasoning is well distributed.
  • Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold, either on a bed of greens, in a sandwich, or with your favorite crackers.
