Fruity Chicken Salad with Tarragon

Chicken salad often finds its way to my summer menus, served on greens or a croissant. I think this one is just a little special. It's sweet and juicy from the apples and grapes, a little savory from the tarragon, crunchy from the pecans and celery, and lightened up a bit with some yogurt.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups grilled skinless, boneless chicken thighs, chopped
  • ½ red apple - peeled, cored, and diced
  • ½ cup halved green grapes
  • ⅓ cup toasted chopped pecans
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • ¼ cup diced celery
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
