Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Salad

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast, cooked and diced (or shredded)
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
  • 1 cup grapes, halved
  • 3/4 cup walnuts, chopped

For the Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 3 sprigs thyme, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken
    Begin by prepping the cooked chicken breast. You can bake, air fry, sous vide, or use store-bought rotisserie chicken. Once cooked, cut the chicken into small cubes or shred it according to your preference.
  2. Combine Ingredients
    In a large mixing bowl, add the diced chicken, finely diced red onion, chopped celery, and halved grapes. Mix them together thoroughly.
  3. Make the Dressing
    Add mayonnaise and plain yogurt to the bowl. Mix until all the chicken and other ingredients are evenly coated.
  4. Add Crunch and Seasoning
    Fold in the chopped walnuts and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Serve or Chill
    Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy immediately. Alternatively, refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes if you prefer it chilled.

Notes

  • To cook chicken, you may use baked, sous vide, or air fryer chicken breast. Instant Pot chicken breast is also an effortless option.
  • Storage: Keep the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If using leftover chicken, ensure that you consider its storage duration prior to making the salad.
  • Make Ahead: You can prep the ingredients up to 4 days in advance, storing them separately. Whisk the dressing ingredients together only when ready to serve for best freshness.
