Light Chicken Breast and Celery Salad

4 servings

20 minutes

A light salad of chicken breast and celery is an exquisite dish inspired by the traditions of Arab cuisine, where freshness and balance of flavors are particularly important. The combination of tender chicken breast, crunchy celery, and sweet apricots creates a wonderful harmony. The dressing made from natural yogurt, mustard, honey, and citrus zest adds lightness and a refreshing touch to the dish. Almonds provide a pleasant texture and nutty aroma, while cilantro finishes the composition with fresh notes. This salad is not only tasty but also healthy, making it perfect for a light snack or as an accompaniment to a main dish. It can be served chilled, making it a great option for summer days.
