Healthy Chicken Salad

4 cups cooked chicken
1 cup diced celery (about 4 large stalks)
1/2 cup diced red onion (about 1/3 medium onion)
1 cup halved grapes or diced apples
2 handfuls cashews (or almonds or walnuts)
1 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp white vinegar (or other light vinegar)
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 tsp salt
black pepper, garlic powder, and dill to taste

Combine chicken, celery, onion, and grapes in a large bowl. In a separate, smaller bowl stir together yogurt, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dill. Taste dressing and make any adjustments. Add dressing to the chicken bowl and stir to combine. If your chicken is warm from cooking, refrigerate salad for an hour or two to chill. Stir in cashews or other nuts before serving. Serve with quinoa (optional) on salad greens, or make sandwiches.

Serves 4 as salad, or 6 as sandwiches.
