Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup chopped celery (about 2 stalks)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion (about 3 medium green onions)
- 2 cups shredded chicken (can use light, dark, or mix of both)
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/8 tsp. sea salt
- 1/8 tsp. dried dill
Instructions
- Add celery and green onion to a food processor bowl and pulse until chopped into really small pieces, scraping down the bowl once or twice.
- Add shredded chicken, mayonnaise, and dijon to the food processor.
- Pulse 5 times. Scrape down the sides with a spatula and pulse 5-10 more times.
Notes
- Be careful not to over-pulse the chicken salad as you want to keep some of the texture (unless you don’t!)
- Storage: Store chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- Ingredient notes: Use your favorite mayo for the best flavor. You could swap plain Greek yogurt for the mayo, but it will add more tang and less creamy flavor and texture.
- Prep ahead: If you plan on cooking your own chicken, you could cook that a day or two in advance.
- Special tools: My immersion blender (which is also a mini chopper) is one of my new favorite appliances. It’s so much easier than pulling out the full food processor, and I find myself reaching for it all the time!
- Serve with: Crackers, veggies, bread or pita bread, or in a wrap.
