My family loves chicken salad and appreciates all different versions.  But this one is the OG  one and the version I think they love the most.  Once you chop everything up, it’s easy to assemble. 
It’s my families favorite chicken salad and it’s versatile so you can change up ingredients if you want. 

You can easily swap out almonds for walnuts or change up the herbs. I also like to often chop up a green apple and add that. 
The textures and flavors make this salad a show stopper!
Excellent on its own or stuffed in a sandwich with littleleaffarms greens of course (IYKYK)

Best Ever Chicken Salad 
.
.
4-5 cups of diced cooked chicken breast �2 cups grapes seedless, halved �1 cup walnuts chopped and toasted slightly in a dry skillet �3 stalks celery finely diced�4 scallions thinly sliced 
2 small Persian cucumbers, chopped 
1/2 cup dried cranberries �3 tbsp dill fresh, chopped�3 tbsp parsley fresh, chopped

Dressing:�1 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup Greek plain yogurt �Juice and zest of 1 lemon
2 tbls Dijon mustard
2 tbls honey 
1/4 cup chives, chopped �1 tsp Kosher salt �Freshly ground pepper
1 tsp garlic powder 
1/2 tsp onion powder 

In a small bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients and set aside. 
In a large bowl, mix everything else together. �
Add the dressing to the chicken mixture and gently stir until well mixed.  Check for seasoning. I like to refrigerate overnight for the flavors to marry. �
**I used to chop up cooked chicken breast to make chicken salad but in the past year I’ve changed methods, preferring now to use a stand mixer. Simply place boneless, skinless chicken in the bowl of a stand mixer and using the paddle attachment on low speed, mix for about 1 minute for perfectly shredded meat.
