Deli-Style Chicken Salad
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Directions
Start by grabbing a large mixing bowl and adding in the mayonnaise, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried dill if you’d like a touch of extra flavor. Mix it all together until it’s creamy and smooth.
Gently fold in your cooked chicken, chopped celery, red onion, and sweet pickle relish if you’re using it. Give everything a good mix so the dressing coats every bite.
Go ahead and taste, then add salt and black pepper until it’s just right for you.
Cover your bowl and let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This gives all the flavors a chance to come together.
When you’re ready to serve, pile it onto a bed of crisp lettuce, tuck it into a sandwich or wrap, or scoop it up with your favorite crackers. Sprinkle a little fresh parsley or chives on top if you’d like. Enjoy every bite!
