How did you use MFP because when I imported it it says 360 Cal's per half cup. Someone is wrong here

Very good write-up. I certainly love this website. Thanks!

This is an absolute hit at our house! Thanks so much for such a fantastic healthy version of chicken salad!

Tried this out tonight, and my husband LOVED it!!  I used to make chicken salad with eggs, and he didn't care for it.  I'm so glad to find an easy make-ahead choice for his lunch!  Thanks for sharing!

My husband and I really enjoyed this! I didn't have sage, but it turned out great. I also tried adding a little bit of honey and apples (I just love apples in my chicken salad!), and I liked it being a little bit sweeter. Thanks so much!

Delicious lunch. My husband liked it, too.

I thought this was going to be weird.. to me it seemed like a lot of mustard but this was actually very very good! My family loved it and my co-workers sampled some of my lunch and asked me for the recipe.
Quick and Easy, perfect for a week night meal. I made some baked fries for a side along with some grapes.

LOVE this recipe. I make this at least once a week and is my go to for a healthy lunch! I throw it atop somce greens or some times on a sprouted grain roll! Occasionally I'll add diced dried apricots too! Great recipe!

First time visitor here. But I already fell in love with what you have here!

Thank you for sharing this easy recipe. It is so delicious.

Made this for lunch for some guests and it was a big hit! Definitely will be making it again soon for easy lunches during the week.

I wish I hadn’t added the Dijon mustard, I ended up throwing the whole bowl away.  I’m not to fond of Dijon mustard but thought I wouldn’t be able to taste it but it over powers everything else.

I make this high-protein keto salad all the time. Crunchy broccoli florets and bell pepper tossed with shredded chicken in a tangy lemon-garlic Greek yogurt dressing that keeps for days.

Broccoli Chicken Salad

plain Greek yogurt

lemon juice (about ½ of medium-sized lemon)

garlic,

black pepper

chicken breast,

broccoli, chopped large stems removed

red onion

red bell pepper

Make creamy dressing

In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper together very well. This can be done with a food processor or hand emulsion blender.

Make the salad

In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked chicken, broccoli, onion, and dressing. Mix so everything is evenly coated.

Tried like four broccoli chicken salads this summer and they're all just mayo with vegetables. The lemon-garlic yogurt dressing is why this one's different.

I wasn't sold on mixing mayo and Greek yogurt but the lemon cuts through it in a way that makes it lighter than I expected. Made a batch Sunday and it held up all week, broccoli stayed crunchy.

I've made probably four broccoli chicken salads in the last year trying to find one worth repeating. This is the one. The lemon-garlic yogurt dressing beats every mayo-heavy version I've tried. Made a big batch on Sunday, ate it three days straight and it held up better than any of them. Knocking off a star for day-three crunch, but that's on me for not adding extra bell pepper.

My ten-year-old has a strict no-broccoli policy she enforces at every meal. Made this for Sunday lunch and she finished her whole bowl, then asked if there was more. When I pointed out there was broccoli in it she got genuinely offended, like I'd tricked her. I think the lemon-garlic dressing just soaks into the florets and does something to them. Four stars. I'm still figuring out the right chop size so it's not too chunky, but we're making this again.

My son is 8 and has staged a years-long protest against broccoli in any form. I made this for my own lunches last week, and he spotted the bowl in the fridge, asked what was in it, and somehow ended up eating two helpings straight out of the container. I think it's the lemon-garlic dressing because he has never voluntarily touched a vegetable without negotiation. This is going into the Sunday meal prep rotation for sure.

Made this probably six times now and I still find myself eating it straight out of the container on day two when the lemon-garlic has soaked into everything.

My daughter has one rule about broccoli: she doesn't eat it. Made this Sunday and she went back for a second bowl without a word, which in our house is more telling than any compliment. The lemon-garlic dressing coats everything evenly and there's none of that raw bitterness I usually get with cold broccoli salads. Already making a second batch.

I never would have thought to put Greek yogurt in a salad dressing but I finally tried this and I'm still thinking about it three days later. First time making anything like it, a little nervous about the garlic and lemon combo working together, and then I mixed it and immediately tasted it off a spoon. The flavor is sharper and fresher than anything I've bought premade and the broccoli actually stayed crunchy through two days of lunches, which I did not expect at all. I've been eating it straight from the container (not proud of this). Do you think drained canned chicken would work here? I have a couple cans in the pantry and really want to make this again before the week's out.

If you let this sit in the fridge for an hour before eating, the lemon garlic dressing soaks into the broccoli and I swear it doubles in flavor.

Almost skipped the Greek yogurt, just used all mayo. Wasn't sure about it in a cold salad. But that tangy garlic dressing is the whole point. Would dial back to two cloves next time (three hit hard), but I've made this twice this week so.
