Scale
Chicken Salad
- 2 cups shredded chicken
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained & chopped
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
Citrus Basil Dressing
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prep the salad: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, diced celery, and finely diced red onion. Set aside to prepare the dressing.
- Make the citrus basil dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, chopped fresh basil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and evenly blended.
- Toss the salad: Pour the prepared citrus basil dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss thoroughly until every ingredient is well coated and mixed.

Notes
- You can substitute mayonnaise with a light or vegan version for a healthier or plant-based option.
- If you prefer a less tangy salad, reduce lemon juice to 1 teaspoon.
- Use fresh basil for the best flavor; dried basil will alter the taste.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
