Lemon Ginger Chicken Salad

This chicken salad is full of veggies and packs a nice citrusy ginger flavor. It uses Greek yogurt in lieu of mayonnaise, making it a healthier lunch or dinner choice.

Ingredient

lemon vinaigrette (I used the T. Marzetti simply dressed brand, though homemade would work as well)

2 cups

chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Combine crock pot ingredients and cook on low until chicken shreds easily. Shred the chicken in the crock pot, remove bay leaves, then take off of heat and let cool down some while remaining covered. Preserve some of the crock pot liquid in shredded chicken to prevent salad from coming out dry (leave like half a cup’s worth in the shredded chicken). Take cooled, shredded chicken in crock pot and store in fridge for an hour for additional cooling.

* Step 2

Combine salad ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir until vegetables are thoroughly coated. Combine salad mix into the crock pot with the chicken and stir until completely mixed. Put finished salad into refrigerator and chill.
