Step 1: Make the Dressing
In a large bowl, stir together the plain Greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed—you want the base to be flavorful before adding the other ingredients.

Step 2: Add the Salad Ingredients
To the bowl with the dressing, add the cooked chicken, chopped celery, chopped nuts, quartered grapes, and finely chopped red onion if using.
Gently stir everything together until well combined and evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 3: Taste and Adjust
Taste the chicken salad and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Add a little extra salt, pepper, or a splash more yogurt if you want it creamier.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the chicken salad on your choice of bread, croissant, or in a tortilla wrap.
For a lighter option, spoon it over a bed of crisp lettuce or wrap it up in lettuce leaves for a low-carb meal.
