This Greek Yogurt Curry Chicken Salad is super flavorful and simple to make! It’s lightened up and packed with protein thanks to Greek yogurt. It tastes amazing as a sandwich, salad, or with pita chips and veggies!
I’ve got a quick recipe to share with y’all today, and I’m inclined to believe that you are going to really enjoy this one; Greek Yogurt Curry Chicken Salad!
Chicken salad is one of my go-to lunches, especially when I have a rotisserie chicken sitting in the fridge that needs to be used up. I love this version because the curry powder gives it AMAZING flavor, and the Greek yogurt is much healthier than traditional mayo. Plus, you get a nice crunch from the almonds and the grapes help to balance everything nicely.
This Greek Yogurt Curry Chicken Salad is delicious with crackers, on top of salad greens, OR…. my personal favorite, spooned onto a buttery croissant with some leafy lettuce for good measure. SO GOOD!

What a delicious and versatile salad! Love how healthy it is too
Ryan says
A bit too tangy from the greek yogurt. I found it needed a ton more curry powder to cover that up (as well as 2x as much lime juice) and some extra cracked pepper.

This reminds me of coronation chicken – a curried chicken salad I tried in England once! So delish! This would also make a mean topping for a baked potato! Love everything about it!

Anjali says
I love this healthier version of chicken salad! Using the greek yogurt is such a smart swap because it tastes just like the traditional recipe but is so much better for you!
Caroline McIlroy says
This recipe is wonderful and closely approximates the Whole Foods curried chicken salad, but with a much healthier approach. Well done! Only change I made was to add a bit of honey to the yogurt mix as I was missing a little sweetness to balance it out. Will definitely repeat.
