For a lighter, healthier option substitute with light mayonnaise or 1/4 cup mayo and 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt.Our favorite chicken salad recipe combines tender chicken, celery, nuts, dried fruit, and a simple creamy dressing.If using a rotisserie chicken buy a large chicken or 2 small to have enough chicken breast meat.For the creamiest chicken salad use full fat mayonnaise.I like to use parsley but this is also delicious with 2 tsp chopped fresh dill. Pecans, walnuts or sliced almonds are good choices. Sweeten the dressing with a hint of honey to pair with it. It’s good with diced grapes or apples (omit the celery if adding apples). Be sure to let chicken chill first before adding to the dressing otherwise it will warm the dressing and it just wont be the same.If using canned be sure to drain well so the dressing doesn’t get overly wet.

Dijon mustard – feel free to add more to taste if you like a stronger mustard flavor.I really does make a difference since there’s a fair amount used. Mayonnaise – use good quality mayonnaise for best flavor, such as Hellman’s/Best Foods.Parsley – skip the dried it doesn’t have near as much flavor as fresh.Green onions – red onions can be substituted for a stronger flavor.Celery – this gives the chicken salad a nice light crunch.Lemon – be sure to zest first before slicing and juicing as this recipe calls for both. ![]() You’ll need a large rotisserie chicken to get 3 cups cubed chicken breasts (or 2 smaller).
