Ingredients

Dressing

  • 1 cup mayo (or plain Greek yogurt)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon (about 2 Tablespoons)
  • 2 Tablespoons everything bagel seasoning (plus more for topping)

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 cup red grapes, quartered

To Serve

  • Bread, lettuce cups, veggies, or toast

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayo (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of everything bagel seasoning. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended, creating a flavorful base for the salad.
  2. Mix the Salad: Add the shredded rotisserie chicken, diced celery, diced red onion, and quartered red grapes into the bowl with the dressing. Toss everything thoroughly to coat all the ingredients with the creamy, seasoned dressing. Taste and adjust with additional everything bagel seasoning if desired.
  3. Serve: Spoon the chicken salad onto your choice of bread, use as a filling for lettuce cups, or enjoy alongside a variety of fresh vegetables. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra everything bagel seasoning for an added crunch and flavor burst.

Notes

  • You can substitute mayo with plain Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangier option.
  • Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds extra flavor, but cooked shredded chicken breast works as well.
  • Adjust the amount of everything bagel seasoning to suit your taste preference—add less if you prefer a milder taste.
  • Grapes can be swapped for diced apples or dried cranberries to add different sweetness and texture.
  • For a low-carb option, serve in lettuce cups instead of bread or toast.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
