Instructions

Combine chicken and vegetables: In a large bowl, mix together the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, cherry tomatoes, and finely chopped red onion until well combined.
Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Mix salad with dressing: Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture, then stir gently until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Assemble lettuce wraps: Spoon the dressed chicken salad mixture into individual lettuce leaves, forming wraps. Serve these immediately for the freshest taste or chill the salad mixture beforehand for extra crispness.

Notes

For extra crunch, add diced celery or shredded lettuce into the chicken salad mixture.
These wraps make a fantastic low-carb lunch or a light summer dinner option.
Using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise can lower the fat content and add a tangy flavor.
Ensure lettuce leaves are thoroughly rinsed and well dried for best wrap handling.
