Healthier Creamy Chicken Salad
Ingredients:
- Poached/boiled boneless chicken breast (I add salt, black peppercorns, grated ginger while poaching), shredded or cubed (cubed looks prettier!)

- Salad leaves of your choice
Dressing:
(Specifying measurements to give an idea of proportion, adjust to taste and/or qty needed accordingly)- Greek Yogurt, 3 tbsp (or plain yogurt hung in a muslin cloth for a couple of hours to drain out most of the water, just ensure it is not too sour)
- Mayonnaise, 1 tbsp
- Honey, 1 tsp
- Dijon Mustard, 1 tsp
- White Wine Vinegar, 1 tsp (or use lemon juice)
- Red Chili Flakes, ¼ tsp (optional)
- Black pepper powder, to taste

Instructions:
In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayo, honey, mustard, vinegar, chili flakes, salt and black pepper.Add in the vegetables, shredded chicken and mix well
Cover and refrigerate for about an hour. Serve over salad greens
Options:
- Add grapes or raisins or dried cranberries.
