This Creamy Chicken Pasta Salad blends elbow macaroni cooked and drained with diced cooked chicken breast and fresh chopped celery. The dressing is made by mixing mayonnaise with kosher salt, coarse black pepper, lemon juice, and sweet or dill relish for a balance of creaminess and tang. Once the components are combined, the salad is refrigerated for at least two hours to allow flavors to meld and chill the dish. The result is a creamy, savory salad with textures from pasta, meat, and crisp celery, making it a satisfying cold dish for casual meals or gatherings.
