Instructions
1
Poach the chicken breasts in boiling water for 15 minutes so they stay juicy. Once cooled, shred them into strands with a fork or cut them into even cubes.
2
Slice the celery stalks into thin pieces for crunchiness. Finely chop the red onion (tip: if the onion is too strong, soak it in cold water for 5 minutes and drain). Cut the apple into small cubes.
3
In a small bowl, smoothly mix together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and seasonings (garlic powder, salt, pepper).
4
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, celery, onion, apple, and walnuts. Pour over the prepared dressing and gently mix so that all the ingredients are evenly coated.
5
For the best flavor, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes so the flavors can meld together. Sprinkle with fresh dill before serving.
