Ingredients
2 cups shredded chicken
½ cup sun dried tomatoes in oil, drained & chopped
2 celery stalks, diced
¼ cup red onion, finely diced
⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
⅓ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup fresh basil
1 garlic, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
½ salt
¼ black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, diced celery, and finely diced red onion. Set aside.
Make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, chopped basil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Combine. Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetables. Mix until everything is coated.
Enjoy. Serve immediately with crackers or use as a sandwich filling.
Notes
Use a good quality mayonnaise for the best flavor.
Don’t overmix the salad, especially if you want to keep the avocado in larger chunks.
Taste as you go, and adjust the dressing to your liking.
For the best flavor, make the salad ahead of time and allow it to chill.
If you’re using pre-cooked chicken, be sure it’s fully cooled before dicing.
