Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 cups chicken cooked, shredded, and cold from the fridge
  • 2 large egg chopped, hard boiled
  • ½ cup dill pickles chopped
  • 1/3 cup pecans chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion diced
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon dill fresh
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar see note
  • ½ teaspoon salt more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper more to taste, cracked

Instructions

  1. Add the chicken, boiled eggs, pickles, pecans, and red onion to a mixing bowl.
  2. Add the mayonnaise, dill, dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper to a small bowl and whisk well to combine.
  3. Add the mayo to the chicken and stir to combine. Add additional mayo if you prefer a more wet chicken salad.
  4. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
  5. Serve on your choice of bread or with crackers or a lettuce wrap.

Notes

  • Swap the vinegar for pickle juice to add even more of that dill pickle flavor to your salad.
  • If your dill pickles are very salty or you’re sensitive to salt, you can taste the salad before seasoning with salt.
  • We like to use baby dills for this recipe and chop them up fairly small. You can also use a mixture of chopped pickles and relish so that the pickles are incorporated more into every bite.
  • The onion can be swapped for green onion or chives, if you prefer less of a crunch from the onion. Alternately, soak the red onion in cold water for 10 minutes to lessen the strong flavor.
