Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Chicken cooked and cubed or shredded in to small pieces.
  • 2 tablespoon Plain Greek yogurt I use 2% Greek yogurt.
  • 2 tablespoon Mayonnaise I use avocado oil based mayonnaise from Costco.
  • ½ cup Celery Washed and chopped into small pieces.
  • ½ cup Pomegranate seeds Also known as pomegranate pearls.
  • 2 teaspoon Orange juice I use fresh squeezed.
  • ¼ teaspoon Chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt I use sea salt.

Instructions

  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, orange juice, hemp hearts, salt, and spices together with a fork.
  • Add chicken, celery, and pomegranate seeds to whisked mayonnaise dressing.
  • Serve!

Notes

Grapes can be used in place of Pomegranate seeds.
More mayonnaise can be used in place of Greek yogurt.
If you use non-fat Greek yogurt, the chicken salad will be more watery.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator and use within two days.
Serve with crackers, in a wrap, or as a sandwich using bread or croissant.
