- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon seasoned salt more to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill or ¼ teaspoon dried dill, optional
How To Make Chicken Salad Recipe?
- Prepare the ingredients: Combine the chicken, mayonnaise, celery, green onion, Dijon mustard, seasoned salt, black pepper, and dill (if using) in a medium-sized bowl.
- Mix thoroughly: Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Adjust the seasoning: Taste and add more salt or pepper as needed.
- Serve and enjoy: Use as a filling for sandwiches or serve over a fresh salad.
Recipe Tips:
- Use freshly cooked chicken : For the best texture and flavor, use chicken that’s freshly cooked and slightly cooled. Shredded rotisserie chicken also works well for a time-saving option.
- Adjust the mayo : Start with the suggested amount of mayo and add more if you prefer a creamier salad. Just be cautious not to overdo it, or it might become too runny.
- Add crunch with extra veggies : For extra texture, try adding finely diced carrots or red bell peppers. They’ll bring some vibrant color and additional crunch to your salad.
- Let it chill : If you have time, chill the chicken salad for 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and enhances the overall taste.
- Season to taste : Always taste your salad before serving. Adjust the salt, pepper, or mustard based on your preference to make sure it’s perfectly seasoned for your liking.
How To Store Leftovers?
Allow the leftover chicken salad to cool to room temperature before refrigerating. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
