    Okay, so I LOVE chicken salad. I try my best not to eat it due to the mounds of mayo and fat. I've even tried the low-fat mayo, but it's still not good for you. Yesterday I came across a no mayo recipe and was very skeptical. I had chicken in the fridge that had to be cooked so I tried it out. It was freaking amazing. I served mine on a whole wheat tortilla.


    serves 3 (makes ~3 cups)

    1 large chicken breast, cooked, cooled, and chopped

    1/2 cup plain greek yogurt

    2 Tbsp dijon mustard

    1/2 lemon, juice

    1/8 tsp dried dill weed

    1 stick celery, diced

    4 celery leaves (from the top of your celery stick), minced

    2 Tbsp red onion, diced

    1/2 cup apple, cut into chunks

    1 heaping Tbsp raisins

    6 walnuts, roughly chopped

    8 grapes, sliced in half

    In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. And done.

    Be sure to let your chicken cool before mixing it all together. Enjoy! <3

    Used to use full fat coconut milk as a mayo substitute or make my own mayo but this is a great use for greek yogurt. Thanks, OP!

    This sounds very good. I think I'll swap the raisins for chopped grapes though.

    Thanks!
    Oops, just noticed grapes are included with raisins.

    Never thought to use greek yogurt (not a yogurt fan anyways). Thanks will try!!! Especially with the amount of calories and fat in it, it can't hurt :)

    Would have never thought to use the plain greek yogurt. May add some Dijonaise to it as well.
