Notes

  • Serving suggestions
    • In between two pieces of bread as a sandwich
    • On a large leaf of butter lettuce or Bibb lettuce
    • Spread out on a large tortilla and folded into a wrap
    • Scooped up with crackers
 
  • Make it dairy-free by using coconut-milk or almond-milk based yogurt. However just note that it will change the flavor slightly compared to if you were to use cow-milk based yogurt
 
  • Adjust Dijon mustard based on your preference – I used 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, but you may prefer a little bit more or a little bit less depending on your preference and taste
 
  • Experiment with mix-ins – if you find this chicken salad to be a little bland, you can add in some fresh herbs (like basil or chives), green onions, walnuts, pecans, or dried cranberries to elevate the flavor profile. These mix-ins are optional but can add some depth to the chicken salad recipe!
 
  • Homemade chicken salad usually tastes better the next day! I found that this chicken salad actually tasted better the next day as the flavors melded together! You can definitely prep this recipe a day ahead or save leftovers for the next day, and it will still taste delicious
