Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced (about 1 lb or 450g)

  • ¼ cup celery, diced (about 30g)

Instructions

  • Begin by prepping your ingredients: dice the cooked chicken breast, chop the walnuts, halve the grapes, and dice the celery.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder until smooth and well-combined.
  • Add the chicken, walnuts, grapes, and celery to the bowl with the dressing.
  • Gently fold the ingredients together until the chicken and add-ins are evenly coated with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  • If desired, chill the salad in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the chicken salad on a bed of fresh lettuce leaves or enjoy it as a filling for low-carb wraps.

Notes

For the best flavor, use freshly cooked chicken breast that has been allowed to cool.
Adjust the creaminess of the salad by adding more mayonnaise or sour cream to your preference.
The grapes provide a hint of sweetness without adding too many carbs, but you can reduce the amount or omit them if you're strictly monitoring your carb intake.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
