Can you make chicken salad without mayo and dairy? Yes—by swapping it for coconut yogurt, which gives you that same creamy texture with more health benefits. If coconut yogurt isn’t available, Greek yogurt works too, but this version was created to be dairy-free and easy to digest.

There’s a very real moment for many people around noon when the fridge gets opened and there’s nothing quick to grab that feels both healthy and satisfying. This is something I work on daily with clients—creating simple meal prep strategies that actually work during a busy week. Chicken salad is a consistent favorite, especially for women older than 40 who really need to be more intentional about protein intake.
