Ingredients

(Serves 2–4)

• 2 cups cooked chicken , diced (rotisserie chicken works great!)
• ½ apple , diced but not peeled (use a sweet variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji)
• ¼ cup sliced grapes (red or green, halved)
• 2 celery stems , sliced thinly
• 1 seedless mini cucumber , diced
• ¼ cup raisins (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
• ¼ cup plain yogurt or sour cream (Greek yogurt adds extra creaminess)
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• Dashes of salt, pepper, and dried parsley , to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients
   • Dice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
   • Wash, peel (if desired), and dice the apple, slice the grapes in half, thinly slice the celery, and dice the cucumber. Measure out the raisins if using.
    
2. Combine the Salad Base
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, apple, grapes, celery, cucumber, and raisins. Mix gently to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
    
3. Make the Dressing
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt (or sour cream) and mayonnaise until smooth. Add the onion powder , a dash of salt , pepper , and dried parsley . Adjust seasoning to taste.
    
4. Mix Everything Together
   • Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture. Gently toss everything together until the chicken and produce are evenly coated with the creamy dressing. Be careful not to mash the ingredients while mixing.
    
5. Serve and Enjoy
   • Serve immediately as-is, or chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to let the flavors meld. This chicken salad is versatile—serve it on its own, in lettuce wraps, as a sandwich filling, or alongside crackers or crostini.
