Hi Erin,
Love yogurt as a repacement for [the dreaded] mayo. I’m making this tonight & will use fennel instead of celery…..I love fennel too.Thanks for all your great recipes. Nancy Visconti
I wanted to love this, I really did. But, to me, the Greek yogurt was absolutely gross in it, and I love PLAIN Greek yogurt. I couldn’t waste all those ingredients, so I kept eating it and even went into it fresh the next day. Alas, I just had to toss it.
I subbed blueberries for grapes, vegan mayo for yogurt, threw in some pecans with the almonds slivers and chopped baby spinach for color. (Also a dash of curry). Omgoodness it was delish. Of course one cd sub tuna for chicken.
I made this for 4 people for dinner and served with soup. I used the Costco pre cooked and shredded chicken for flavor and simplicity. It was outstanding!
Had some poached chicken breasts to use up, so tried this. Super-easy, with nicely-balanced flavors. I cut the chicken smaller: closer to 1/4″ dice. Had to use green grapes instead of red, and quartered them because they were large! Also discovered (shocker!) that the only Greek yogurt in the house is vanilla flavored. Oops! So (please don’t faint) I had to sub in low-fat mayo. But used less of it!! Thinking some aleppo pepper might be tasty in here. And/or so might some freshly-crushed coriander seed. And maybe increase the chicken and include some chopped red bell pepper, especially if subbing green grapes. Trader Joe’s Norwegian flatbreads are the perfect carrier. Dinner was tasty!
I made this but omitted the honey & milk and also the dill & green onions. I added a couple of chopped eggs. It was delicious. Will definitely make again.
This is one of the best healthy chicken salads I’ve ever made. So quick too with leftover rotisserie chicken! This will be making its way into my lunch rotation!
Thanks!
I really liked this version of healthier chicken salad. The milk in the yogurt thins the dressing out nicely. To me, the honey took out the sharp tang of yogurt. I think the fresh dill really MADE the dressing. I will make this again and again. So wonderful to save some calories and fat from the mayo. Thanks for another wonderful recipe. BTW, I ordered yesterday your cookbook for my sister for her birthday!
So delicious! The crunch is all perfect & the flavors are so fresh for a nice! Greek yogurt is my go-to & this was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
This was so fresh and delicious! I used the store rotisserie chicken which simplified things (and adds a little more flavor). Forgot to buy fresh dill, so had to use dried – can only imagine it will be even better with fresh herbs!
Thank you for this recipe it was absolutely delicious. I made a few alterations.
I had to cut the recipe and half since I only had about one and a half cups of shredded chicken. I substituted a pickled red onions for the green onions. I omitted the almonds, And I used seedless green grapes. I used an orange blossom honey as it has some beautiful citrus notes.
Just made this today for lunch, exactly as written except I subbed 1 tsp dried dill for the fresh because that’s what I had on hand. Both my husband and I loved it! So delicious, and much more savory than you’d expect with the grapes and the honey. I didn’t detect any yogurt taste–if you’d told me it was mayo (which I avoid using), I would have believed you, as it’s just neutral here. Fabulous–thanks for a terrific lunch recipe!

I’m sorry this recipe wasn’t to your tastes, Merry. I (and many other readers) have truly enjoyed it, so I wish you would’ve too!

Glad it worked out for you Karen! Thank you for this kind review!
Good. A lot less calories than with Mayonnaise. But to me there was too much pepper and I added some dried cranberries.

Super tasty. A great way to incorporate more protein. Added chopped pecans too. I prefer this over the mayo version.

Love these!! How many calories are these instead of KCals? Thank you!!
Hi Kristie, it’s 226 calories per serving. Enjoy!
I made this chicken salad for lunch for my girlfriends. We absolutely loved it!
They all asked for the recipe.
The only minor change I made was I used 2% milk instead of non-fat milk.
Great to hear! Thank you Maria!
