To celebrate the last weekend of our summer, I decided to make something I absolutely love for lunch this week, Chicken Salad. I’ve made this recipe a few times and even blogged about it but I knew I wanted to try something a tad different this time around.

With school starting this Wednesday, I’m on a mission to be a tad conscious of the foods Jonathan and I are eating on a day to day basis. It really does help when we have a consistent schedule to stay on track. It also helps that we have been shopping so much at our local veggie market which has fresh local vegetables at affordable prices. Besides using fresh produce, I wanted to mix up my old recipe with the binding. I decided to try my hand at replacing the mayonnaise and use Chobani‘s Plain Greek Yogurt instead. I found this to be a refreshing change to the recipe. There are tons of other amazing recipes that use greek yogurt all over the web but I find that Chobani has really put together a great list at their website. Be sure to check them out!
The recipe is simple to put together and it lasts most of the week! You can even cut down on time by using those already roasted chickens you find at your local grocery store.
Once everything is cooked, you throw it all in a bowl and mix it up. The Chobani yogurt does a great job of acting as the mayo in this recipe and keeping everything combined and moist. The light tartness to the yogurt works really well with the lemon and dill combination.
So, what is your go to summer salad recipe? I would love to know more so I can try some new ones out! If you found this recipe tasty and want to share/save for your friends, pin the image above!
