Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Salad
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 2/3 cup diced dill pickles
- 1/4 cup minced red onion
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried chives
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Ensure your chicken is fully cooked and shredded into bite-sized pieces. Dice the dill pickles and mince the red onion finely to prepare for mixing.
- Combine Main Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken, diced dill pickles, and minced red onion. Stir gently to combine these base ingredients evenly.
- Add Dressing and Herbs: Incorporate the plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, Dijon mustard, dried chives, and dried dill into the bowl. Mix gently but thoroughly until all components are well combined and uniformly coated.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the chicken salad and adjust any seasoning as needed for your preference. You may add salt or pepper if desired.
- Serve: Serve the salad immediately on croissants, toasted bread, or over crackers for a delicious and easy meal or snack.
Notes
- This recipe uses pre-cooked chicken to save preparation time; rotisserie chicken works well.
- For a lighter version, omit mayonnaise and use extra Greek yogurt.
- Chilling the salad for 30 minutes before serving can enhance flavors.
- Serve on your choice of bread or crackers, or use as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
- Adjust dill and chives to taste for stronger or milder herb flavor.
