- You can customize this chicken salad with your favorite herbs and spices. You can use fresh herbs like dill, tarragon or parsley or dried spices like curry powder or thyme. My personal favorite is za'atar. Za'atar is a versatile Middle Eastern spice blend that commonly contains sumac, sesame seeds and other spices like oregano and thyme.
