Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a creamy dressing.
Add shredded rotisserie chicken, chopped celery, diced red onion, sliced almonds, and dried cranberries.
Stir until all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top and mix again.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

For added sweetness: Increase dried cranberries or drizzle honey.

For a nut-free version: Skip almonds or substitute with sunflower seeds.

For extra crunch: Add chopped apples or grapes.

For a spicy kick: Mix in a pinch of cayenne or a dash of hot sauce.

For lower fat: Use all Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
