Best Honey Mustard Chicken Salad

Print Recipe

A hearty and flavorful chicken salad with a delightful honey mustard dressing, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cooked chicken breasts, sliced or chopped
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (baby spinach, arugula, or spring mix)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cucumber, sliced
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup shredded carrots
  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds or chopped almonds (optional)
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken. If using cooked chicken breasts, boil or grill until done (15-20 minutes). Slice or chop into bite-sized pieces. If using rotisserie chicken, shred it and set aside.
  2. Combine your greens in a large bowl with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and shredded carrots.
  3. Add the chopped chicken, folding it in gently to ensure even distribution.
  4. Make the dressing by whisking Dijon mustard, honey, Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), olive oil, lemon juice (or vinegar), salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  5. Drizzle the honey mustard dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
  6. Serve the salad in bowls, topping with sliced avocado and sprinkling with sunflower seeds or almonds.

Notes

Best served right after tossing to keep the greens fresh. Can be stored (without dressing) in an airtight container for up to two days.
