Feel-Good Chicken Salad

Print Recipe

Say hello to your new favorite lunch! This Feel-Good Chicken Salad is loaded with fresh, crunchy, vibrant ingredients and packed with protein to keep you energized and satisfied. Tender chicken is tossed with crisp celery, green onions, sliced almonds, and a zesty mix of Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard—then brightened up with fresh parsley and dill. Whether you enjoy it straight from the bowl, wrapped in lettuce, or piled onto your favorite sandwich bread, this wholesome twist on a classic is as nourishing as it is crave-worthy. It’s feel-good food in every sense of the word!

  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or plant-based alternative
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried dill (or 1 Tbsp fresh, chopped)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Notes

  1. We love this chicken salad in a lettuce wrap, tossed in a salad, or enjoyed with seedy crackers like Mary’s Gone.
