- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with diced celery and red onion, noting the crisp crunch of the celery and the sharp, aromatic hit of the onion.
- Incorporate the chopped walnuts and dried cranberries, observing the rich, nutty aroma and the vibrant pop of sweet-tart flavor.
- Whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth, enjoying the vibrant and fresh lemon aroma.
- Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir gently until glossy and evenly coated.
- Fold in the fresh parsley, ensuring the bright green flecks are distributed to add an herbal fragrance.
- Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with extra salt or pepper to ensure a perfect balance of tangy and creamy textures.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
- Line a platter or individual plates with cold, crisp green leaf lettuce leaves.
- Spoon generous, neat mounds of the chicken salad onto the center of the lettuce leaves.
- Garnish with extra parsley and a sprinkle of walnuts before serving the salad chilled.
