Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1/2 cup fresh cranberries, finely chopped

1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped

1/2 cup celery, finely diced

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Salt and black pepper, to taste

4 large lettuce leaves (Romaine or Butter lettuce recommended)

Optional: fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill) for garnish

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, finely chopped cranberries, coarsely chopped walnuts, and diced celery. Gently toss the ingredients together to ensure an even distribution.

    In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.

      Carefully pour the creamy dressing over the chicken mixture, stirring well to ensure all the components are evenly coated. If desired, fold in fresh herbs at this stage for an additional burst of flavor.

        Arrange the large lettuce leaves on a clean, flat surface. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken salad mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf, allowing enough space to fold the wrap.

          To create the wrap, fold the sides of each lettuce leaf inward and then roll it up tightly from the bottom, forming a secure and neat wrap.

            Place the wraps seam-side down on a serving plate. They can be enjoyed immediately or refrigerated for a short time until you are ready to serve.
