But he’s the key to the secret ingredient that truly elevates this chicken salad recipe to new heights.

THE RECIPE

Ingredients:

• 2 cups diced, cooked, skinless chicken breasts (see note)
• 1 cup halved red grapes (or quartered if the grapes are large)
• 1 cup diced apple (we prefer crisp, sweet apples in this recipe)
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon smooth Dijon mustard

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, combine chicken, grapes, apples, pecans, and celery, stirring gently to combine.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, cider vinegar, tarragon, sugar, kosher salt, and mustard.
3. Pour yogurt dressing over chicken mixture and gently stir to combine evenly.
4. Serve as desired – as a wrap, sandwich, salad plate or appetizer.
