7 oz chicken breast (shredded or cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
1 cup chopped celery
2/3 cup finely diced red onion
1 cup grapes (halved lengthwise)
3 mini bell peppers (diced)
2 green onions (sliced)
3/4 cup cottage cheese
1/3 cup greek yogurt
2.5 tsp dijon mustard
1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1.5 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
Step 1: Combine shredded chicken breast, celery, red onion, bell peppers, and grapes in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3: Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir until fully combined.
Step 4: Fold in the fresh parsley and green onions.
Step 5: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
Use a rotisserie chicken to save time, and ensure your cottage cheese is small curd for the best texture.
