Make this high-protein chicken salad featuring a tangy, sweet honey mustard dressing without mayonnaise. It includes bacon and avocado for texture and flavor, making it perfect for meal prep or a quick lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (for creaminess, no mayo)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the cooked, shredded chicken in a medium mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth. This creates your tangy mustard dressing.
  3. Pour the dressing over the shredded chicken and mix gently until the chicken is evenly coated.
  4. Fold in the crumbled bacon, diced avocado, chopped red onion, and fresh parsley. Mix carefully to avoid mashing the avocado.
  5. Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Serve immediately, or cover and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. This is a great chicken wraps filling.
