Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced (grilled, rotisserie, or baked))

• ½ cup celery (finely chopped)
• ¼ cup walnuts or pecans (chopped)
• ¼ cup dried cranberries (optional)
• ¼ cup red onion (finely diced (optional))
• ½ cup Greek yogurt (or mayo for a creamier texture)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (prevents apples from browning)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• 4 flour tortillas (or whole wheat, spinach, or sun-dried tomato wraps)
• Lettuce leaves (for extra crunch or as a low-carb alternative)

Instructions

1. Dice the chicken, apple, and celery into bite-sized pieces.
2. Chop the walnuts or pecans and the red onion, if using.
3. Whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth.
4. Add the chicken, apple, celery, walnuts, cranberries, and red onion to the bowl.
5. Toss everything together until evenly coated with the dressing.
6. Lay a tortilla flat and place a few lettuce leaves on top.
7. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken apple salad onto the center.
8. Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla up tightly like a burrito.
9. Cut each wrap in half for easier serving.
10. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.

Cooking Tips

• Toss the diced apple with lemon juice right away to keep it from browning before mixing.
• Add lettuce leaves inside the wrap for extra crunch and a sturdier base.
• Don't overfill the tortillas, or they'll be hard to roll tightly.

Substitutions

• Mayonnaise can replace the Greek yogurt for a creamier dressing.
• Pecans can stand in for walnuts.
• Whole wheat or spinach tortillas can replace regular flour tortillas.

Storage

• Refrigerate the chicken apple salad, unwrapped, in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Assemble wraps fresh when possible, since the tortilla can turn soggy if stored too long with the filling inside.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with a side of fruit or a simple green salad.
• Cut the wraps in half for easier eating and a nicer presentation.
• Add extra lettuce for crunch if serving right away.
