Description
A creamy, fresh, and delicious chicken salad made without celery. Perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or eating straight with a spoon.
Ingredients
3 cups cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie or poached breast)
1/2 cup high-quality mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: 1/4 cup sliced scallions or red grapes
Instructions
Step 1: Place the diced, cooled chicken into a large mixing bowl and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 2: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and garlic powder until smooth.
Step 3: Pour the dressing over the chicken and add the fresh dill and parsley.
Step 4: Use a spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until the chicken is evenly coated in the creamy dressing.
Step 5: Taste and add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
Notes
Ensure the chicken is cold before mixing to maintain the creamy consistency. Use Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
