Instructions
Cook the Chicken
- Place chicken in a pot of boiling water or pan. Cook until fully done and tender. Let it cool slightly. Then shred it into small pieces using forks or hands.
Prepare the Vegetables
- Wash all vegetables carefully under clean water. Chop celery, onion, cucumber and apple into small pieces. Keep them fresh and crisp for best texture.
Make the Dressing
- Take a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard. Mix until smooth and creamy. This creates a light and tasty base for the salad.
Add Seasoning
- Add lemon juice, salt and black pepper. Stir well. This gives the dressing a fresh and slightly tangy flavor that balances the creaminess.
Combine Chicken and Vegetables
- Add shredded chicken into a large bowl. Then add all chopped vegetables. Mix gently so everything is evenly spread and well combined.
Add the Dressing
- Pour the prepared dressing over the chicken mixture. Stir slowly until everything is coated. Make sure every piece gets a creamy layer of flavor.
Add Fresh Herbs
- Sprinkle chopped parsley on top. Mix lightly again. The herbs add freshness and a nice aroma to the salad.
Chill and Serve
- Place the salad in the fridge for 10–15 minutes. This helps flavors blend well. Serve cold for the best taste and texture.
