Wild rice chicken salad mixes nutty wild rice, delicate chicken, crunchy celery and almonds, sweet grapes, and a creamy, lemony dressing in a tasty and healthful dish. It’s simple to prepare and ideal for lunch or a light meal. For a portable supper, wrap it in a tortilla or lettuce. Here’s how you do it:
3 cups cooked wild rice.
3 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed.
1/2 cup mayonnaise.
1/4 cup plain Greek yoghurt.
Lemon juice, 2 tbsp.
1 teaspoon lemon zest.
1/4 teaspoon salt.
1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
1/4 cup sliced green onions.
1/4 cup chopped water chestnuts.

In a large mixing bowl, add mayonnaise, yoghurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
Toss in the wild rice, chicken, green onions, and water chestnuts to coat. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours or overnight.
Add the grapes and almonds just before serving and gently mix to incorporate.
Enjoy!
