Really nice chicken salad, a refreshing change from mayo ones. Mine was a little sweeter than planned because the only lemon yogurt i could find was lemon meringue flavor :) Still wonderful

Refreshing salad during the summer. I leave out the mint and cataloupe. Can use coarsely chopped, toasted pecans or cashew halves in place of the almonds.
