Instructions

  1. 1Poach 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. 2Slice 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. 3In a small bowl, smoothly mix together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and seasonings (garlic powder, salt, pepper).
  4. 4In 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. 5For 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.
