In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the mashed avocado. Add fresh lemon juice to taste, and don’t forget to season with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix it well until all ingredients are smoothly blended.
Next, take a large bowl and add the cooked and shredded chicken. Make sure it’s well shredded to mix evenly later. Add in the chopped celery, halved red grapes, and if you’re using them, the chopped pecans, chopped red onion, and the optional dried cranberries. The variety of textures and flavors in this mix will make the salad exciting.
Now, gently fold the yogurt avocado sauce into the chicken mixture. Make sure everything is well coated but be gentle to maintain the integrity of the grapes and pecans.
After that, taste your salad and adjust the seasoning with more Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper if needed. This is your chance to make it perfect!
Finally, serve the Creamy Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad on a bed of greens, as a sandwich filling, or just enjoy it straight from the bowl. The possibilities are endless, and it’s delicious in any form!
