Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt, preferably full-fat
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, from about 1/2 lemon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons mild curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, like parsley, cilantro, mint, and/or dill
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely diced
  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup raisins, optional
  • 1/2 cup chopped cashews, optional

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, curry powder, honey, salt, pepper and fresh herbs.
  2. Add chicken, onion, celery, and raisins and/or cashews, if using. Stir together to coat evenly with the dressing.
  3. Serve on toasted bread, in a lettuce wrap, or just straight-up out of the bowl.

Notes

  • You can use 1 cup of mayo in place of the yogurt-olive oil combo, if desired.
  • This recipe works great with chickpeas in place of chicken if you’re looking for a plant-based option!
