Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 stalks Celery
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by dicing the cooked chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the celery stalks and add them to the bowl with the chicken.
Dice the red onion finely and add to the chicken mixture.
Add the chopped fresh parsley to the bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, ground black pepper, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the chopped chicken and vegetables.
Stir everything together gently with a spatula until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste the chicken salad, and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Serve cold, on its own, over a bed of lettuce, or in a keto-friendly wrap.
