Chicken Salad

Y'all, my husband speaks the language of food. Thankfully, I have learned to speak that same language. One of his F-A-V-O-R-I-T-E foods/snacks is chicken salad, but I always cringe at buying the pre-made, grocery store chicken salad, because it's a little container that costs about $9. With hubs, that whole container may last about 9 minutes. So, whenever I find new recipes for chicken salad that are clean, or at least somewhat clean, I like to give them a try! I'm know I've said this before, but this recipe really is a new favorite! It tastes so refreshing. Here's the recipe:

Chicken Salad
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, cubed
1 large green apple, diced
1 large red apple, diced
1 1/4 cups red seedless grapes, halved
2 celery stalks, diced
1/2 cup walnut pieces (I used pecans because that's what I had)
2 tablespoons litem mayo
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 tablespoons plain greek yogurt
1 teaspoon honey
Salt and pepper to taste
Lettuce leaves for serving

Directions:
Mix all ingredients chicken through the walnuts in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the lite mayo, dijon mustard, greek yogurt, and honey. Pour the mixture into the bowl with the chicken and fruit and toss until evenly coated. Serve on lettuce leaves.

Enjoy!
