Ingredients
Salad
- 3 cups freshly shredded chicken breast (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 1 cup diced pickles (Claussen recommended)
- 1/2 cup diced celery
Dressing
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp pickle juice (from the pickle jar)
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard (or Dijon mustard)
- 2 tsp honey (or sugar/favorite sweetener; if using stevia, adjust accordingly)
- 2 tsp dried dill
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- 1/2 tsp celery salt (or plain salt to taste)
- 1 tbsp dried minced onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, light mayo, mustard, pickle juice, dried minced onion, dried dill, smoked paprika (if using), and celery salt. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavor until well balanced.
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss together the shredded chicken, diced celery, and diced pickles. This ensures even distribution of textures and flavors before adding the dressing.
- Mix Salad and Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the chicken mixture. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients well, ensuring every bite is coated in the flavorful dressing.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the salad for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. Before serving, taste again and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
Notes
- Serves 6 with a serving size of approximately 1/2 cup packed.
- For best texture and flavor, use refrigerated pickles like Claussen.
- Dried dill and celery salt are key to achieving authentic flavor, but you may substitute celery salt with regular salt.
- Smoked paprika is optional but adds a subtle smoky depth to the salad.
- Perfect for meal prep as it holds well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
