For a lighter version, substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt. Add a touch of Dijon mustard for a more complex flavor profile. Incorporate other fresh herbs such as chopped parsley, tarragon, or chives for added freshness. Finely diced red onion or shallots can provide a pleasant bite. Serve the Shredded Chicken Salad on croissants, toasted bread, lettuce wraps, or with your favorite crackers.
