3. Mix Greek Yogurt: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
4. Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced celery, halved grapes, diced apple, and chopped walnuts or almonds (if using).
5. Combine: Gently fold in the shredded chicken, ensuring everything is well coated with the yogurt mixture.
6. Taste Test: Adjust seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
7. Chill (Optional): For deeper flavors, cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
8. Serve: Spoon the salad over a bed of mixed greens or lettuce to elevate your presentation.
9. Garnish: Top the salad with freshly chopped parsley if desired for an extra pop of color and flavor.
