- 🟡 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 🧄 ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare Ingredients: Gather and prep all ingredients for easy assembly.
2️⃣ Shred or Dice Chicken: Use leftover grilled, rotisserie, or boiled chicken. Shredding blends better, but diced works too.
3️⃣ Make the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
4️⃣ Mix Everything Together: Add the chicken and stir until well coated. If using optional add-ins like celery, grapes, or nuts, fold them in now.
