Cherry Greek Yogurt Curry Chicken Salad

Recipe Description

The Cherry Pistachio Greek Yogurt Curry Chicken Salad recipe is a flavorful spin on a traditional chicken salad. If you are on the hunt for a new recipe to get you out of your lunch rut, look no further! This recipe is packed with spiced-up flavors and textures. The warm spices pair remarkably with the cool and tangy yogurt, while cherries add sweetness to balance its tang. This chicken salad is perfect served over spring mix salad or in a sandwich for a filling and healthy meal. I just love having this on hand for a quick and scrumptious meal!

In fact, chicken salad is one of my go-to lunch options, especially when I have leftover chicken breasts sitting in the fridge and waiting to be used up. In this recipe, the light Greek yogurt dressing wonderfully coats a colorful combination of cherries, chicken, celery, apple, and pistachios. Not to mention: it is simple to toss together, super flavorful, and filling. Nice!

To make the Cherry Greek Yogurt Curry Chicken Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
