Ranch Chicken Salad
Description
Ranch Chicken Salad combines shredded cooked chicken with a homemade ranch-style dressing made from buttermilk, mayonnaise, fresh chives, and a blend of dried parsley, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. The buttermilk and mayo create a creamy base that soaks into the chicken, keeping it moist. The dried herbs complement the fresh chives, lending an herbaceous depth to the salad. This no-cook recipe requires simply mixing the dressing ingredients thoroughly before folding in the chicken. It is chilled before serving to allow flavors to meld. The salad can serve as a protein-rich filling for sandwiches, a topping for greens, or a quick midday meal.
