  1. Chicken Salad Recipe (Classic, Easy)

    Ingredients: 2 cups cooked, diced chicken (rotisserie works), 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), 1–2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup diced celery, 1/4 cup diced red onion, 1/4 cup chopped pickles or relish, 1/2 cup grapes or diced apple (optional), 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or almonds (optional), 1–2 tbsp lemon juice, salt and pepper, plus herbs like dill or parsley. Instructions: 1) In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise (or yogurt), Dijon, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. 2) Add chicken, celery, onion, pickles, and any optional add-ins. 3) Mix until evenly coated. 4) Taste and adjust seasoning—more lemon for brightness, more mustard for tang, more mayo for creaminess. 5) Chill 30 minutes to 2 hours for best flavor. Serve on greens, in a sandwich, or with crackers.

  2. Serving Ideas & Storage

    Serving: Spoon over lettuce, stuff into wraps, or serve with toasted bread. Garnish with fresh herbs, extra pepper, or a squeeze of lemon. Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3–4 days. If it thickens, stir in a teaspoon or two of mayo/yogurt or a splash of lemon juice before serving. Avoid leaving at room temperature for more than 2 hours.

FAQ

Can I use canned chicken?

Yes. Drain well and use about 2 cups. Taste and adjust salt since canned products can be saltier.

What’s a lighter alternative to mayonnaise?

Use plain Greek yogurt (or half mayo/half yogurt). It keeps the salad creamy while reducing fat.

Is it safe to eat if it smells “off”?

If it has an unusual odor, slimy texture, or you’re unsure about freshness, discard it. When in doubt, don’t eat.
