Instructions

1
Prepare the chicken: Ensure your cooked chicken breast is cooled and then shredded or diced into bite-sized pieces. Place the chicken in a large mixing bowl along with the finely diced celery and minced red onion.
2
Make the Green Goddess dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, fresh parsley, fresh chives, fresh tarragon, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Blend until completely smooth and a vibrant green color. Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste.
3
Combine ingredients: Pour the freshly blended Green Goddess dressing over the chicken, celery, and red onion mixture in the large bowl. Stir gently until all the ingredients are thoroughly coated with the dressing.
4
Chill and serve: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and chill thoroughly. This also helps the dressing to set slightly.
5
Serve the Vibrant Green Goddess Chicken Salad as desired. It's excellent piled onto soft bread for sandwiches, scooped into crisp lettuce cups for a low-carb option, or served with crackers as an appetizer. Garnish with extra fresh herbs if you like.
