An easy and quick chicken salad featuring sun-dried tomatoes and spinach! (also known as Tuscan Chicken Salad or Marry Me Chicken Salad).

ingredients

• 4 cups cooked and shredded or sliced chicken
• 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
• 1/4 cup diced red onion
• 2 tablespoons thinly sliced basil
• 2 cups chopped baby spinach
• 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano (or Italian seasoning (link))

directions

1. Combine the chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, celery, onion, basil, and spinach with the mixture of yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper, then savor!

Note: Choose your preferred type of cooked chicken! Rotisserie chicken works great! I typically poach 2 pounds of chicken breasts in water, allow them to cool, then slice or shred.
Option: Modify the flavors as you like!
Option: Incorporate 1/4 cup of grated parmigiano reggiano (parmesan cheese).
Option: Add 1/2 cup of coarsely chopped artichoke hearts.
Option: Use any mix of yogurt, mayo, sour cream, cottage cheese, ricotta, etc.
Option: Enjoy on toast, as part of a sandwich, in a wrap, or as a side dish, or dip, etc.
