Description

A zesty, no-cook chicken salad with Greek yogurt, pepperoncini, celery, and onions. Packed with 30g protein per serving, this light yet satisfying dish is perfect for meal prepping or post-workout fuel.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
1/3 cup pepperoncini, sliced
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder


Instructions

In a large bowl, combine chopped chicken, pepperoncini, celery, and red onion.
In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and garlic powder until smooth.
Pour dressing over chicken mixture. Stir thoroughly to coat.
Chill for 10-15 minutes before serving (optional, enhances flavor integration).


Notes

Substitute Greek yogurt with light mayonnaise for a non-dairy option.
Use pre-shredded rotisserie chicken for convenience.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Add chopped green onions or vinegar for extra tang if desired.
