This chicken salad with dill is a fresh take on a classic. Even better, it’s made with Greek yogurt instead of mayo. It’s creamy, tangy, and packed with tons of flavor.

Chicken salad is such a great meal prep dish. It’s easy to make ahead, tastes better after 24 hours, and you can make it using leftover shredded chicken from a homemade roast chicken. Or use our Air Fryer Chicken Tenders instructions to make fresh chicken in a flash.

A few other mayo-free dishes you might love: Greek Yogurt Egg Salad, Healthy Green Pea Salad, Instant Pot Potato Salad, and Healthy Deviled Eggs.

While I am not a mayo fan, if you are, check out our Whole30 Chicken Salad for a mayo-based option.

Pro Tips/Recipe Notes

• I used Instant Pot Cold Start Yogurt but if you’re a mayo fan, try this homemade Whole30 Mayo.
• Make this dish the day before you want to serve it. It gives the flavors a chance to meld together, and um, it makes your life easier.
• Store in the fridge for up to four days. After that, the whey from the Greek yogurt will start to water down the salad. If you like mayo, using mayo in the salad will allow it to be stored for six days without compromising the flavor.
• Use your favorite store-bought relish, or simply finely chop some pickles you might already have in your fridge. If you’re a canner, check out my Dill Pickle Relish canning tutorial.
• Throw some Pickled Shallots on top; yum!
