Instructions
1-Step 1: Combine the Ingredients In a medium bowl, add 2 cups of cooked chopped or shredded chicken, ยฝ cup of mayonnaise, 1 rib of diced celery, 1 thinly sliced green onion, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, ยผ teaspoon of seasoned salt, โ teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh dill if youโre using it. Stir everything together until itโs well mixed and creamy. I most often find that this initial blend helps lock in those fresh tastes right away.
2-Step 2: Mix and Taste Once combined, give the mixture a good stir to ensure all the flavors meld together nicely. Taste it and adjust the seasoned salt or black pepper as needed everyoneโs palate is different, so donโt hesitate to tweak it. This is where you can add a personal touch, like more dill for extra herbiness, making the salad feel truly yours.
3-Step 3: Chill and Serve After mixing, pop the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors deepen this makes a big difference in taste. When youโre ready, serve it as a sandwich on bread or over lettuce for a lighter option. For variations, you might lighten it up by swapping half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt, which keeps things creamy but adds a healthier twist.
