Herby chicken salad that ditches the heavy mayo
Austin, Texas, USA: Popular food blogger Alex Snodgrass (The Defined Dish) showcases her Herby Chicken Salad, a fresh take on a classic. Instead of drowning shredded chicken in mayo, the recipe relies on Greek yogurt plus a blend of thyme, chives, basil, and lemon. The result: tangy, bright flavors that still offer creamy comfort but with fewer empty calories. It’s an easy meal for busy schedules—just roast or poach your chicken, whip up the herb sauce, then chill. Fans mention it’s kid-approved for lunches or a quick dinner over greens. If you’re worried about flavor, extra mustard or finely diced pickles can up the zing. For those tired of bland meal-prep, this approach marries convenience and taste, giving standard deli-style chicken salad a needed facelift.
