Ingredients

2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken

1 cup seedless red grapes, halved

1 cup cucumber, diced

1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped

1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Remove skin from the rotisserie chicken and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large mixing bowl.

2. Dice the cucumber, halve the grapes and cherry tomatoes, and roughly chop the walnuts. Add to the bowl with the chicken, along with the spinach or greens.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.

4. Pour dressing over the chicken mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.

5. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for an hour to let flavors meld. Enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, toast the walnuts before adding them to the salad.

Make it lighter by using all Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.

This salad can be prepped up to 2 days in advance; keep dressing separate until ready to serve for maximum freshness.
