Ingredients
6 servings
- Chicken Salad Dressing:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (I prefer 2% milkfat or higher)
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons sugar (more or less to taste – and honey also works!)
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Chicken Salad Base:
- 2 1/2 cups cooked chicken, cubed or diced (I use rotisserie chicken breast)
- 1 1/2 cups red grapes, sliced
- 1 cup finely diced celery (about 2-3 stalks)
- 1 cup roasted cashew halves and pieces
- Any extra seasonings you like (dried herbs, fresh herbs, salt and pepper, etc. – I typically add dried chives!)

Preparation
Chef’s notes
Dressing Amounts:
You may not need all of the dressing depending on how much creaminess you like – I typically have a few tablespoons left over and I save them to toss with the leftovers so they are freshly creamy again!
Herbs:
Fresh herbs work, but my complaint with them is that they don’t hold up as well in the fridge / after they get mixed in, which is why I like freeze dried herbs (in my case, I use chives).
White Pepper:
Regular freshly ground black pepper works just fine, but it darkens the color a bit with the black flecks and I care about these things so I go for the white pepper!
