Instructions
- Prep the salad. Add the shredded chicken, chopped sun dried tomatoes, diced celery, and finely diced red onion to a large bowl and set aside, preparing the base of the salad.

Notes
- For a healthier option, substitute mayonnaise with additional Greek yogurt.
- You can add chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds for extra crunch.
