Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 cup celery, finely chopped

1/4 cup red grapes, halved

1/4 cup green onions, sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

1 head iceberg lettuce or butter lettuce, separated into leaves

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts for added crunch

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This will be your honey mustard dressing.

    Gently fold in the shredded chicken, finely chopped celery, halved red grapes, and sliced green onions. Ensure all ingredients are well mixed and evenly coated with the honey mustard dressing.

      Season the salad mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste. For an extra layer of texture and flavor, incorporate the chopped walnuts if you like.

        Take the lettuce leaves and carefully arrange them on a serving platter, creating a lovely display for the salad cups.

          Generously spoon the honey mustard chicken salad mixture into each lettuce cup, filling them to the brim for an inviting look.

            Serve immediately, and feel free to garnish with additional slices of green onions or a light drizzle of honey for an extra touch.
