Method
 

Prepare the Chicken
  1. Use cooked chicken breast or thigh meat. Dice it into small, even pieces or shred it finely so the salad is easy to scoop and wrap.
  2. Rotisserie chicken works especially well and saves time.
Chop the Apples and Vegetables
  1. Dice the apple into small cubes for even distribution.
  2. Chop celery finely for crunch without overpowering bites.
  3. Keep onion minimal and finely chopped for balance.
  4. If prepping ahead, toss apples with a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
Make the Dressing
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together:
  2. Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  3. Dijon mustard
  4. Lemon juice or vinegar
  5. Salt and pepper
  6. Taste and adjust. The dressing should be creamy with a gentle tang—not heavy.
Combine the Salad
  1. In a large bowl:
  2. Add chicken, apple, celery, and onion
  3. Pour dressing over the mixture
  4. Gently fold until evenly coated
  5. Add nuts or dried fruit if using, then taste and adjust seasoning.
Assemble the Wraps
  1. Lay wraps or lettuce leaves flat
  2. Spoon chicken apple salad down the center
  3. Fold and roll tightly
  4. Serve immediately or wrap for later.
