A flavorful and creamy savory dill pickle chicken salad that combines shredded chicken, dill pickles, red onion, and a tangy Greek yogurt and mayonnaise dressing seasoned with herbs like dill and chives. Perfect for sandwiches, salads, or as a snack.

Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 1.5 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/4 cup minced red onion
  • 2/3 cup diced dill pickles

For the Dressing:

  • 1 tsp dried chives
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp dried dill
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables: Begin by placing the cooked and shredded chicken, finely chopped red onion, and diced dill pickles into a large mixing bowl. This will form the base of your chicken salad.
  2. Mix the Dressing Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, Dijon mustard, dried chives, fresh parsley, dried dill, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper until smooth and creamy. This dressing will add flavor and help bind the salad ingredients.
  3. Combine Salad Ingredients and Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the chicken mixture. Use a spoon or spatula to gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Your savory dill pickle chicken salad is now ready. Serve it on toast, as a sandwich filling, with crackers, in lettuce cups, or over a fresh salad for a delicious meal or snack.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken for convenience.
  • For extra crunch, add chopped celery or apple.
  • Substitute mayonnaise with a light version to reduce fat.
  • Adjust the amount of dill pickle relish and fresh parsley to taste for varying flavor intensity.
  • Chill the salad for 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
