Tender chicken meets crunchy pecans and sweet grapes in a salad that feels like a treat rather than an afterthought. Mayonnaise and Greek yogurt make the dressing creamy but not heavy, while Dijon and a squeeze of lemon keep it lively. Tucked into flaky croissants with a leaf of crisp lettuce, it is a lunch worthy of a spring picnic or an easy weekend get-together.

- Fold in the chicken, celery, red onion, grapes, pecans, and parsley until everything is evenly coated.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors blend.
