What Youโ€™ll Need

Equipment
Ingredients
  • Chicken: To make this super easy, I use pre-cooked shredded chicken, or rotisserie chicken.
  • Celery
  • Red onion
  • Dill pickles (+ 1 tbsp pickle juice)
  • Fresh dill
  • Light mayo
  • Non-fat plain greek yogurt: This adds some protein and stretches the sauce a bit further.
  • Honey
  • Dijon mustard
  • Salt & pepper

How To Make It

  1. Prep the veggies: Wash and dry the celery and set aside. Cut off the ends and remove the outer layer of the onion.
  2. Chop: Chop or shred the cooked chicken. Finely chop the celery, red onion, and pickles. Roughly chop the fresh dill.
  3. Stir it all up: In a large mixing bowl, add chopped ingredients with the mayo, yogurt, pickle juice, honey, and mustard. Mix it up a season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips

  • Texture: I love very finely chopped celery and onion to get a little in every bite.
  • Chill: I love this salad most cold, after itโ€™s sat in the fridge for a least a couple hours.

To Serve

Enjoy on croissants, sandwiches, wraps, crackers, lettuce cups, whatever you love! Super easy to make it a meal or a snack.

    1. Hi Stephanie,
      Yes, I meal prep this one often! Just make sure to store in an airtight container (I prefer glass) and it can be kept in the fridge up to 4 days. I give it a quick stir before adding to whatever I want!

    This is so delicious!! I used a rotisserie chicken and removed the skin and chopped it up really well and mixed. My husband and I have decided this is now our favorite chicken salad recipe!!

    This is delicious! I followed the recipe except left out the fresh dill cause it can be too overpowering for me sometimes. Perfect amount of mayo and yogurt. So so tasty.
