This Healthy Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad Dressing Recipe takes the classic creamy profile and upgrades it with a tangy, herby, and subtly spicy twist. With fresh lemon, Dijon, garlic, and cooling Greek yogurt as the base, it offers a luscious texture and bold flavor without the heaviness of traditional mayo-based options. Whether tossed with shredded chicken, drizzled over grain bowls, or used as a sandwich spread, it delivers freshness in every bite. Best made ahead and chilled, this dressing is an easy way to add flair to your weekly meals and keeps well for 4–5 days.
