Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Cooked Chicken Breast, diced
  • 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp Greek Yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Poppy Seeds
  • 1/2 cup Dried Cranberries
  • 1/2 cup Sliced Almonds, lightly toasted
  • 1/3 cup Celery, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, greek yogurt, dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, and poppy seeds until the dressing is smooth and the poppy seeds are evenly distributed.
  • Stir in the onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
  • Add the diced cooked chicken breast and toss until every piece is fully coated in the creamy dressing.
  • Fold in the dried cranberries and diced celery. Mix gently until they are scattered evenly throughout the salad.
  • Add the toasted sliced almonds and chopped fresh parsley. Fold them through the salad just until combined so the almonds keep their crunch.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve on a buttery croissant, on whole grain bread, or scooped onto crispy crackers for a lighter bite.
