Chicken salad is a classic dish that’s both delicious and healthy. I love how simple and versatile it can be. Typically we just use some red onion, mayo, maybe some celery, and herbs. But for this dill pickle chicken salad recipe, we are adding some subtle flavor pops with pickle juice, chopped dill pickle, and fresh dill. There’s such good flavor!
A good chicken salad recipe is something I like to keep on hand for weeks I feel the need for some healthy quick meals. You can make a big bowl of chicken salad and then use it for sandwiches, salads, wraps, or just scooped up with some good chips. So easy, so healthy.
