Ingredients

1 lb chicken (Cooked & shredded; I used precooked and shredded chicken from my Trifecta meal prep plan! Use the code CKL40)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (Plain, full-fat preferred for extra creaminess.)
2 tsp wasabi paste (Do not skip—this is the flavor anchor!)
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1/2 lemon (Juice; Approximately 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice)
1 corn (1 large ear of corn, cooked & kernels removed from cob once cooled)
3/4 cup peas (Frozen. Yes, frozen. Do not cook them. Trust me!!)
1/4 cup pickled red onions (Chopped; Make sure they are pickled!)
1 honeycrisp apple (diced; leave the skin on for texture and color)
Salt & vinegar chips (I use the brand Siete as a healthy option. I just measure with my heart.)

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, wasabi paste, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, corn, peas, pickled red onions, and diced apple.
2
Stir everything together until evenly coated.
3
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it chills, the better it gets!
4
Right before serving, give the salad a gentle toss and mix in a handful of crushed salt & vinegar chips for that irresistible crunch and extra flavor. If you are meal prepping, store the chips separately and mix them in just before serving to keep them crisp.
5
Serve as a sandwich filling, inside a pita or wrap, or enjoy it straight from the bowl with extra chips on the side. It’s perfect for lunch, picnics, barbecues, or potlucks!
