Healthy Chicken Salad

This healthy chicken salad recipe is made with a mixture of Greek yogurt and cottage cheese instead of regular mayonnaise, resulting in a healthier version that's still creamy and delicious but higher in protein. Apples and dried cranberries add a sweet-tart flavor, while chopped pecans provide textural interest in every bite. Serve it on crackers, on a croissant, in a pita, or grab a fork and just dig in!

Ingredients

1 (6 ounce) container fat-free greek yogurt (such as fage®)
½ cup low-fat cottage cheese
½ cup chopped celery
½ cup diced apple
¼ cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as craisins®)
2 tablespoons chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped pecans
½ tablespoon dijon mustard
1 ¼ cups cubed, cooked chicken
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Gather all ingredients.
Stir Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, celery, apple, cranberries, onion, pecans, and Dijon mustard in a bowl until well combined.
Mix in chicken. Season with salt and pepper.
Enjoy!
