A lively, restrained lunch salad featuring bright lemon and basil through shredded chicken, chewy sun-dried tomatoes, and a silky citrus-basil dressing.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup mixed crunchy veggies (like bell peppers, celery, and cucumbers), diced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Bread or crackers for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and crunchy veggies.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, chopped basil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the creamy citrus-basil dressing.
  3. Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss until well combined. Serve the salad in sandwiches, stuff it into pita bread, or enjoy it alongside your favorite crackers.

Notes

Keep the vegetables small and uniform for balanced crunch. Toss gently to preserve texture and adjust acidity with lemon juice as needed.
