Can I use mayo instead of Greek yogurt?

Absolutely, Swap equal amounts of mayo if you prefer - it'll taste more traditional but lose that tangy kick. For a healthier twist, try half mayo, half yogurt.

How long does this chicken salad last in the fridge?

It stays fresh for 3 days stored in an airtight container. The apples might soften slightly but still taste amazing - just give it a good stir before serving.

Can I use a different fruit besides apples?

Totally, Pears work beautifully, or try grapes for bursts of sweetness. Just avoid watery fruits like watermelon - they'll make the salad soggy. For another great chicken salad variation, check out this healthy chicken salad with grapes and walnuts .

Is this chicken salad gluten-free?

Yes, All the ingredients are naturally gluten-free. Just check your mustard label if you're highly sensitive - some brands add wheat.

Can I freeze this salad?

I don't recommend it - the yogurt dressing and fresh veggies don't freeze well. But it's so quick to make fresh, you won't need to.
