Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked and shredded chicken (no seasoning)

1/2 cup carrots, finely chopped

1/2 cup green beans, chopped

1/4 cup peas (fresh or frozen)

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

1/4 cup pumpkin puree (not the spiced pie filling)

A handful of finely chopped parsley (for fresh taste and nutrients)

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken: If you haven't done so already, boil the chicken in water until it’s cooked through. Once cooled, shred it into bite-sized pieces.

    Prepare the Veggies: In a separate pot, steam the carrots and green beans until they're tender (about 5-7 minutes). If using frozen peas, you can add them directly to the mix without cooking.

      Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped carrots, green beans, and peas. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

        Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, mix the plain Greek yogurt with the pumpkin puree and honey (if using) until smooth. This will serve as a tasty dressing for your salad.

          Combine Everything: Pour the yogurt-pumpkin dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss everything gently until all ingredients are coated in the dressing.

            Garnish: Sprinkle the finely chopped parsley over the top for an added fresh flavor and nutritional boost.

              Serve: Scoop the mixture into your dog's bowl and let them enjoy their salad bowl treat! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

                Prep Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 20 minutes | Servings: Makes about 4 servings (depending on your dog’s size)
