Ingredients
– 2 cups cooked chopped or shredded chicken for base protein
– Β½ cup mayonnaise for creamy binder
– 1 rib celery, diced for crisp crunch
– 1 green onion, thinly sliced for mild onion flavor

– ΒΌ teaspoon seasoned salt for seasoning
– β teaspoon black pepper for gentle spice
– 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill or ΒΌ teaspoon dried dill (optional) for herbaceous note
Instructions
1-First Step: Prepare Your Ingredients Begin by chopping your cooked and cooled chicken into bite-sized pieces. This helps it mix evenly with other items and keeps the texture just right. Next, dice the celery and thinly slice the green onion, placing them in a large bowl with the chicken for easy combining.
2-Second Step: Mix the Dressing In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, seasoned salt, black pepper, and dill if you’re using it. Stir these together until they form a smooth, creamy dressing. This step ensures the flavors blend well before adding to the chicken mixture.
3-Third Step: Combine Everything Toss the dressing with the chicken, celery, and green onion in the large bowl. Use a gentle folding motion to coat everything evenly, which prevents the salad from becoming mushy. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed for your preference.
4-Fourth Step: Let It Rest and Serve Once mixed, let the salad sit for a few minutes to let the flavors meld, though it’s ready to eat right away. Serve it on bread, rolls, croissants, with crackers, over greens, or in lettuce wraps for a versatile meal.
