Ingredients

  • 4-5 cup cooked chicken breast chopped or shredded
  • 2 celery stalks finely diced
  • ¼ cup red onion finely diced
  • ¾ cup mayo
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1-2 tbsp dill finely chopped
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, stir together the mayo, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, dill, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the chicken, celery, and red onion. If you're using any optional add-ins such as nuts or apple chunks, add them in now. Stir until well combined and evenly coated.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste if needed. Chill for 15-30 minutes for best flavor. You can serve immediately though if you're short on time.

Notes

Customize this recipe to your taste preferences. You can easily add in chopped grapes, apples, dried cranberries, raisins, chopped walnuts, slivered almonds, or pepitas.
I personally like closer to 4.5 cups of chicken to mayo ratio in this recipe.
Serve in a sandwich, on a wrap, over greens, with crackers or cucumber slices.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
