Instructions

Place the shredded chicken in a medium bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth.
Add the chopped celery, minced red onion, and fresh dill to the wet ingredients. Mix well.
Pour the dressing mixture over the shredded chicken. Gently fold everything together until the chicken is evenly coated.
Season the salad generously with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
To serve immediately, divide the mixed greens among four plates. Top each serving with one-fourth of the high protein chicken salad mixture.
Arrange the cherry tomatoes and cucumber slices around the salad.

Notes

For a low-carb high protein salad option, serve this mixture in lettuce cups instead of over greens.
You can prepare the chicken salad base up to three days ahead for easy meal prep lunches. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
If you want to boost the protein further, mix in 1/4 cup of cottage cheese with the yogurt and mayonnaise.
