Ingredients

Directions

  1. Steam or boil broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain well and rinse with cold water to stop cooking, then pat dry.
  2. Quarter the drained artichoke hearts if they are large.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed chicken, quartered artichokes, broccoli florets, chopped green onions, salt, and fresh ground pepper. Toss gently to combine.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad mixture for at least 15 minutes to chill.
  5. While the salad chills, prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together low-fat plain yogurt, finely chopped fresh dill, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  6. Slowly whisk in the safflower oil, lemon juice, and tarragon vinegar until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
  7. Stir in the finely chopped seeded cucumbers and finely chopped green onions into the yogurt dressing.
  8. Cover the dressing and refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  9. Just before serving, pour the yogurt dressing over the chilled chicken and vegetable mixture.
  10. Toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Serve immediately.
