This is a delicious and healthy twist on the classic chicken salad recipe!
Ingredients:
- Chicken, shredded or cut into small pieces
- 1 celery stalk, chopped
- 6-8 grapes, sliced
- Small handful walnuts, chopped
- Nonfat plain Greek or regular yogurt
- Dijon mustard
- Cracked pepper
- Fresh spinach
- Whole wheat pita/bread
Instructions:
Start with the chicken in a small bowl. Add chopped celery, grapes, and a small handful of walnuts.
Next, add some cracked pepper and a spoonful of plain yogurt and a squirt of dijon mustard. As usual, add about 2 parts yogurt per 1 part mustard, to taste. No mayo necessary! 
Mix it all up, place on a whole wheat pita or bread , cover with spinach, and enjoy!! This would also be awesome with dried cranberries instead of grapes.

Wow!!!! This is SOOO good!!! I just had it for lunch, but with a few variations. I didn’t have any grapes, so I used dried cranberries. I only had a tiny bit of celery left over from yesterday’s salad, so I also put in some cucumber. I wanted to use up some quinoa, so I put in half a cup with it instead of using a pita. I hate mayo, but love all these ingredients!
Yay I’m glad you liked it! I love the idea of quinoa with it – yum!! I’ll have to try that
