I love a cold, creamy bowl of it straight out of the fridge for an high protein Summer Mom Lunch, and my girls love to eat the components (plain chicken, grapes, celery and cashews) dipped in a bit of dressing for a kid-friendly snack plate. This <a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/kimchi-tuna-salad-wrap\">tuna salad wrap<\/a> is on that list too.<\/p>\n<p>Reasons I love it:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reason A<\/strong>: The creamy dressing is\u2026 weirdly <em>so<\/em> good. It doesn\u2019t taste like straight Greek yogurt (gross) but there\u2019s enough to be in there so that you aren\u2019t just eating straight gobs of mayo, either. Perfect creaminess achieved! The flavors from the dijon, salt, sugar, onion and garlic powder make it into a luscious little everything sauce that I\u2019m licking off the spoon every single time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reason B:<\/strong> Lots of protein! It\u2019s a super satisfying mid-day boost!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reason C:<\/strong> Convenience, naturally. I frequently just grab a little wrap, sandwich, or bowl of it for a solidly delicious munch between chaotic mid-afternoon errands and\/or kid pick-ups!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>SUMMER HERO!<\/p>\n<p>You might notice there are no raw onions in this chicken salad and that is <em>very much<\/em> on purpose. I prefer a substantial lacing of onion powder in the sauce to give us the good flavor\u2026 but in a smooth, creamy way, without the watery, weepy weirdness of diced raw onion. To each their own! Throw the onions in if you want. But I am a strong proponent that onion powder &gt; raw onions when it comes to chicken salad.<\/p>\n<p>The mix-ins that you\u2019ll see here are my favorites (grapes, celery, and cashews) but you might like apples, almonds, pistachios, wild rice (!), walnuts, etc. The beauty is that this protein-rich, ultra-creamy chicken salad dressing as a base can take us to many good places.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you want another classic-but-updated summer salad, check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/crispy-smashed-potato-salad\">smashed potato

Thank you for sharing!<br \/>\u2013 salt and vinegar chips (or any chips, let\u2019s be honest)<br \/>\u2013 apples<br \/>\u2013 wild rice <br \/>\u2013 sweet pickled jalape\u00f1os <br \/>\u2013 fried onions<br \/>\u2013 crushed ramen noodles<br \/>\u2013 bacon<br \/>\u2013 sweet corn<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1695750073466\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can you omit or replace the celery?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can omit the celery! This is your own adventure. I would suggest adding a crunchy diced or sliced vegetable in its place \u2013 water chestnuts (polarizing!), radishes, jicama, or bell pepper! Fennel is very similar to celery but it is sometimes tolerated better by celery-haters, so that\u2019s another option! It gives you a similar crunch and flavor.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1695750121033\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Could you use your air fryer chicken in this?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes! Yummy. I would just cut it into cubes after you cook it in the air fryer! <a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/ridiculously-good-air-fryer-chicken-breast\">Here\u2019s that recipe<\/a>. Keep in mind that there\u2019s a lot of seasoning on the exterior of that chicken so it will likely transfer into the sauce, making it more colored than the version here in the pictures.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1695750138906\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How can I make this chicken salad dairy-free?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Use a dairy free plain yogurt! Almost all mayo should be naturally dairy free.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1695750161989\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What other nut could I use instead of cashews?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">SO many options. Walnuts, pistachios, sunflower seeds, and almonds come to mind!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1695750177946\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How long does this chicken salad keep in the refrigerator?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I like it best within 3 days! The USDA recommends eating leftover rotisserie chicken (stored in the refrigerator) within 3-4 days.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1695750187044\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you serve this chicken salad?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">In a sandwich (croissants are the bomb), in a wrap (whole wheat wrap or a lettuce wrap! yum), on top of some greens, or as a dip for crackers! Or just plain, straight out of the fridge. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1695750198746\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can you make this recipe without mayonnaise?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You could use all Greek yogurt but I find that the mayo is really helpful for the overall flavor and texture. It gives a silkiness and a lusciousness that you can\u2019t get from the thick, tangy Greek yogurt. Some people like to make their chicken salad with sour cream, so that\u2019s another option, but I find a base of tangy Greek yogurt + the buttery-ness of a little mayo to be the ideal combo!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-three-more-high-protein-salad-recipes\">Three More High-Protein Salad Recipes<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/the-best-avocado-egg-salad\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/super-yummy-chicken-salad?tp_image_id=45617\" data-pin-nopin=\"1\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Avocado Egg Salad on an everything bagel.\" class=\"wp-image-45617 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Avocado-Egg-Salad-Recipe.jpg\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-avocado-egg-salad\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/the-best-avocado-egg-salad\">Avocado Egg Salad<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/curry-chicken-salad\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/super-yummy-chicken-salad?tp_image_id=61508\" data-pin-nopin=\"1\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Curry chicken salad in a bowl.\" class=\"wp-image-61508 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/beltonravuki.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Curry-Chicken-Salad-Square.jpg\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-curry-chicken-salad-0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/curry-chicken-salad\">Curry Chicken Salad<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/basic-awesome-chicken-quinoa-salad\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/super-yummy-chicken-salad?tp_image_id=74686\" data-pin-nopin=\"1\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Chicken salad in a bowl made with quinoa and tomatoes.\" class=\"wp-image-74686 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chicken-Quinoa-Salad-Square.png\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-chicken-quinoa-salad\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/basic-awesome-chicken-quinoa-salad\">Chicken Quinoa Salad<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/super-yummy-chicken-salad\">Super Yummy Chicken Salad<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\">Pinch of Yum<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In This Post Jump To The Recipe Why I Love This Recipe Video Frequently Asked Questions Ratings It\u2019s a Chicken [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":432,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[14],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beltonravuki.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/743"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beltonravuki.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beltonravuki.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beltonravuki.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beltonravuki.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=743"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/beltonravuki.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/743\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":756,"href":"https:\/\/beltonravuki.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/743\/revisions\/756"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beltonravuki.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beltonravuki.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beltonravuki.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beltonravuki.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
