Chicken salad in a white bowl with crackers and celery

Chicken Salad with Thyme

This healthy chicken salad replaces some (not all) of the mayo with Greek yogurt and dijon mustard. Plus I use fresh thyme and scallions to amp of the flavor.

Recipe Notes

Nutritional information is approximate and was calculated using a recipe nutrition label generator app.

This recipe will last in the refrigerator for up to a week, depending on the freshness of your ingredients.

You can use fresh thyme or dried (reduced amount noted in recipe). Fresh is better.

I use half Greek yogurt, half mayo. Whole or 2% Greek yogurt tastes best. Alternatively, you can use just mayo (1/2 cup total) and no Greek yogurt.
