  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb. shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 2 cups sliced baby dill pickles
  • ½ large white onion, minced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • ½ cup chopped fresh dill

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup 2% Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Chicken and Vegetables: In a large bowl, place the shredded chicken, sliced baby dill pickles, minced white onion, diced celery, and chopped fresh dill. Mix lightly to combine and set aside while preparing the dressing.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 2% Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, chopped fresh dill, dill pickle juice, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt until smooth and well blended.
  3. Mix Salad and Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well coated and evenly combined.
  4. Serve: Enjoy the salad immediately on its own, spoon it onto toast, or use it as a filling for wraps for a quick, healthy meal option.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor, but cooked shredded chicken breast works as well.
  • Adjust the amount of pickle juice to taste for more tanginess.
  • This salad can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature based on preference.
  • Fresh dill is key for authentic flavor; dried dill can be used but reduce quantity.
