  3. Quarter the red seedless grapes to add sweetness to the salad.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until well combined.
  5. Add the cubed chicken, chopped celery, red onion, and quartered grapes to the bowl with the yogurt dressing. Gently fold until well coated.
  6. Serve the salad in halved whole-wheat pita pockets or on a bed of romaine lettuce.

Notes

  • Feel free to add nuts like chopped almonds or walnuts for extra crunch.
  • Incorporate spices like paprika or cayenne for added heat.
  • Add a splash of water or extra yogurt if the salad is too thick.
