Chicken Salad with Apples
Ingredients
Salad
- 3 1/2 cups chopped cooked rotisserie chicken (cold, 1 lb.)
- 2 cups chopped apples, such as gala, fuji or golden delicious
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (toasted or raw)
- 2 green onions, sliced (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
Dressing
- 1 (5.3 oz) container fat-free plain greek yogurt (heaping 1/2 cup)
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp real maple syrup or honey
- 1 Tbsp minced fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Lettuce or whole grain bread, for serving
Instructions
- Add chicken, apples, pecans, green onions, and cranberries to a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate small mixing bowl mix together greek yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar, maple syrup, rosemary, dijon mustard, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour over chicken mixture then toss to evenly coat.
- Store in the fridge up to 2 days. Serve in lettuce or on whole grain bread.
Notes
- Note that as mixture sits a few hours the chicken may absorb the dressing and it will seem to dry up a little. You can thin it with a little more Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, or water (depending on how creamy you want it).
- Nutrition estimate based on using lettuce leaves not bread.
