dilly chicken salad

Chicken salad has been a fixture in my kitchen for a long time, long before I started cooking. I have fond memories of Friday night dinners growing up of chicken salad sandwiches and soup. It’s an easy, comforting meal that comes together very quickly. I love making a bigger batch on Sunday and having it throughout the week for lunches. I would love to hear any additions you make to your chicken salad; leave them in the comment section below! 

Ingredients

• 2 boiled chicken breasts, finely shredded

• 1 scallion, chopped

• ½ cup shredded lettuce

• 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped

• 3-4 tbsp mayo, based on your preference (you can also do half Greek yogurt half mayo)

• ½ tsp mustard

• Juice of half a lime 

• 1 tsp salt

• Freshly ground pepper 

• Couple of shakes of hot sauce (I like Sriracha or Cholula) 

• 1 tbsp relish or finely chopped pickles, optional

Method 

• Combine all ingredients in a big mixing bowl 

• Serve on crackers, cucumber rounds, on bread (it’s delicious on pumpernickel), in a wrap, or by the spoonful
