To create this delectable dish, start by gathering your ingredients. You’ll need 2 cups of cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced, which will serve as the protein-packed base of our salad. Combine this with 1/2 cup of creamy Greek yogurt, which adds a tangy and velvety element to the mix.

Next, add 1/2 cup of diced celery for a satisfying crunch, and 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts for a delightful nuttiness. To balance out the flavors, sprinkle in 1/4 cup of dried cranberries, which provide a touch of sweetness and a burst of color.

To elevate the taste profile, squeeze in a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, which adds a zesty and citrusy note. Season the chicken salad with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried dill, allowing the flavors to meld together harmoniously.

Now that your chicken salad is perfectly seasoned and mixed, it’s time to assemble the lettuce wraps. Take crisp and vibrant lettuce leaves, which will serve as the vessel for our flavorful creation. Scoop a generous amount of the chicken salad onto each leaf, ensuring a balanced distribution of ingredients.

To secure the wraps, gently fold the sides of the lettuce over the filling, creating a neat and compact package. For added convenience, use toothpicks to hold everything in place, allowing for easy and mess-free consumption.

Once your Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps are beautifully assembled, it’s time to savor the fruits of your labor. The combination of tender chicken, creamy Greek yogurt, crunchy celery, nutty walnuts, and sweet cranberries will tantalize your taste buds with every bite.

Whether enjoyed as a light lunch or a satisfying snack, these lettuce wraps are a testament to the beauty of simplicity and balance. So, take a moment to indulge in this wholesome and flavorful creation, and let it transport you to the sun-drenched shores of the Mediterranean.
