Instructions
- Get Ready: First, prepare all your ingredients. Shred your cooked chicken, cut the red grapes in half, dice the celery, finely chop the red onion, and chop the pecans.
- Whip Up the Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the light mayonnaise, creamy plain Greek yogurt, fresh chopped dill, and bright lemon juice. This creates a wonderfully tangy and light dressing! Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Combine Everything: Add the shredded chicken, sweet grapes, crunchy celery, red onion, and pecans into the bowl with your prepared dressing. Gently fold everything together until all the ingredients are beautifully coated.
- Taste & Adjust: Take a quick taste and add a little more salt or pepper if you like, ensuring all the flavors are perfectly balanced.
- Chill & Serve: For the best taste, cover the bowl and let your chicken salad chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors deepen. Serve this refreshing salad on crisp lettuce cups, as a wholesome sandwich filling, or with your favorite crackers for a light summer meal!
