High Protein Cottage Cheese Chicken Salad
A delicious and nutritious salad that combines creamy cottage cheese with diced chicken and fresh produce, making it a perfect meal for busy families.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (Look for low-fat for a lighter option, or full-fat for a richer flavor.)
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced (Rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver here.)
- 1/2 cup grapes, halved (Choose seedless grapes for a smoother bite.)
- 1/4 cup celery, diced (Adds a nice crunch.)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise (Greek yogurt offers a tangy flavor and is high in protein.)
- 1 tablespoon mustard (Feel free to adjust the amount if you prefer a milder taste.)
- Salt and pepper to taste (A touch of seasoning can elevate the flavor.)
- Greens (lettuce, spinach) or crunchy veggies (cucumbers, bell peppers) for serving (Mix and match your favorites.)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, diced chicken, grapes, celery, Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, and mustard.
- Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve over greens or mix with crunchy veggies.
- For sandwiches or wraps, scoop the mixture onto bread or tortillas.
Notes
Leftovers will stay fresh in the fridge for about three days. Store in an airtight container. Best served cold, but you can warm the chicken before mixing if preferred.
