2-Point Weight Watchers Chicken Salad
Servings: 2
WW Points: 2 points per serving (based on WW Blue or PersonalPoints with 0-point chicken and nonfat yogurt)
This 2-Point Chicken Salad is the perfect light and satisfying meal for anyone following the Weight Watchers plan. Creamy, crunchy, and packed with lean protein, it brings all the comfort of a classic chicken salad without the heavy calories or excess points. Made with tender shredded chicken breast, crisp celery, and a tangy, mayo-lightened dressing, it delivers big flavor in every bite — while still keeping your daily points in check.
Instead of traditional mayonnaise, this version uses non-fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy base that’s rich in protein and low in fat. A touch of Dijon mustard adds a tangy kick, while a small spoonful of light mayo keeps the texture smooth and familiar. Fresh lemon juice brightens the flavors and cuts through the richness, giving the salad a fresh, clean taste that’s especially refreshing on a warm day.
The crunch of finely chopped celery and a hint of red onion add depth and texture, making this chicken salad more than just filling — it’s vibrant and satisfying. A sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or dill adds a burst of garden-fresh flavor that makes each bite feel like something special, even though it comes together in minutes.
Serve it cold over crisp lettuce leaves, tucked into a low-carb wrap, or scooped up with cucumber rounds for a snack-style lunch. It’s great for meal prep, quick lunches, or even picnics, and it tastes even better the next day once the flavors have melded. This is healthy comfort food at its best — clean, simple, and deliciously guilt-free.
