TrendingLunchThemedHigh protein30-minuteAmericanSalad
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
- 2 cups halved red and green grapes
- 1 medium crisp apple
- 2 celery stalks
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 3 tbsp fresh chives
- 12 large butter lettuce leaves
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/3 cup toasted sliced almonds
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp celery seed
Instructions
- 1If the chicken is not already shredded, pull it into bite-size strands while still slightly warm so it stays moist. Place it in a large mixing bowl.
- 2Halve the grapes and dice the apple into small cubes, leaving the skin on. Thinly slice the celery on the bias for crunch and color.
- 3In a separate small bowl whisk the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and celery seed until the dressing is creamy and smooth.
- 4Pour the dressing over the chicken and fold gently until every strand is coated. The mixture should look lightly dressed, not swimming.
- 5Add the halved grapes, diced apple, sliced celery, chopped dill, and chives. Fold again so the fruit and herbs are evenly distributed without crushing the grapes.
- 6Taste and adjust salt or lemon if needed. The salad should taste bright, herby, and lightly sweet from the fruit. Chill 10 minutes if time allows for flavors to settle.
- 7Separate and wash the butter lettuce leaves, then pat them completely dry so the wraps stay crisp. Lay them out like little cups.
- 8Spoon the grape chicken salad into each lettuce leaf, top with a sprinkle of toasted almonds, and serve right away as hand-held High-Protein lunch wraps.
