For the Salad:
- 3 cups cooked chicken breast shredded or diced (about 2 medium chicken breasts)
- 1 cup pineapple diced (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup red grapes halved
- 1/2 cup celery finely chopped

Prepare the Salad Ingredients : In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, diced pineapple, halved red grapes, celery, red bell pepper, green onions, and toasted almonds or walnuts (if using). Toss gently to combine.
Make the Dressing : In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, Dijon mustard, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Combine Salad and Dressing : Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
