Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (for creaminess without mayo)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Place the shredded chicken in a medium bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to create the creamy honey mustard dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the chicken. Mix gently until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Fold in the crumbled bacon, diced avocado, chopped celery, and fresh parsley. Mix just until combined; avoid overmixing to keep the avocado texture intact.
- Serve immediately, or cover and chill for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
- Use this high protein salad for wraps, sandwiches, or serve over fresh greens.
Notes
- For a low carb chicken salad option, skip any bread or crackers and serve this mixture over lettuce cups.
- If you prefer a tangier chicken salad, increase the apple cider vinegar by one teaspoon.
- You can substitute the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free plain yogurt alternative if needed.
