1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey

Prepare the Chicken Salad Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced chicken with Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), celery, red grapes, and walnuts.

    Add Flavor: In a separate small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour this dressing over the chicken mixture.

      Mix Thoroughly: Gently fold the dressing into the chicken salad until all ingredients are evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
