Wheat Berry Chicken Pasta Salad

3-4 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed (can use canned)
2 cups diced Granny Smith green apple
8 ounces rotini pasta, cooked and drained
8.5 oz. can pineapple chunks, drained
½ cup red seedless grapes, halved
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
2-3 green onions, thinly sliced
½ cup cooked wheat berries

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

Dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup plain yogurt
2 tsp. lime zest (or more!)
3 Tbsp. lime juice
2 Tbsp. honey
