Print Recipe

This Savory Dill Pickle Chicken Salad combines tender chicken with the zesty crunch of dill pickles for a delightful twist on a classic dish. Perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or served on a bed of greens, this salad is sure to impress at any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup dill pickles, diced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by shredding your cooked chicken. If you’re using rotisserie chicken, it’s easy—just pull the meat off the bones and shred it using two forks. Aim for bite-sized pieces, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Next, finely chop the dill pickles and red onion. You want these pieces small enough to distribute evenly throughout the salad. The pickles should give a satisfying crunch—set them aside with the chicken.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and chopped fresh dill. Stir until smooth. This creamy dressing is essential for binding the salad and providing flavor.
  4. Pour the dressing mixture over the shredded chicken and add the chopped pickles and onion. Use a mixing spoon to gently fold everything together until all ingredients are well-coated with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. For the best flavor, cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the salad to firm up.

Keywords: Greek yogurt can replace mayonnaise for a healthier option. You can also add chopped celery for extra crunch or swap dill pickles for bread and butter pickles for a sweeter taste.
