Ingredients
2 cups cooked chopped or shredded chicken (rotisserie, grilled, or leftover chicken)
½ cup mayonnaise
1 rib celery, diced
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
⅛ teaspoon black pepper, adjust to taste
1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill or ¼ teaspoon dried dill (optional)
Instructions
1-First, chop the cooked and cooled chicken and place it in a large bowl with the diced celery and sliced green onion. Make sure the chicken is fully cooled to keep the salad fresh and prevent it from getting mushy. Next, in a separate bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and dill if you choose to use it.
2-Combine the dressing with the chicken mixture and stir everything well to coat all the pieces evenly. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning as needed for your preferred flavor.
3-Finally, serve your classic chicken salad on rolls, bread, lightly toasted croissants, crackers, over lettuce, or in wraps for a versatile meal. Chilling it for a bit can enhance the flavors, making it even more refreshing.
