⅛ cup Greek yogurt
¼ red onion diced
1 stalk celery diced
1 green apple chopped
¼ cup dried cranberries
1 cup spring mix greens
¼ cup pecans
½ tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

In small bowl, combine Originals Oven Roasted Chicken Breast, Greek yogurt, red onion, celery and lemon juice.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are diced uniformly for a pleasant textural experience in every bite. When assembling, layering is key: always place the dressing/chicken mixture at the bottom to prevent the greens from becoming soggy. For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of freshly ground black pepper or a touch of fresh dill to the chicken mixture. For longer freshness, ensure greens are completely dry before layering. This recipe is highly customizable; experiment with other nuts, seeds, or vegetables for variety.
