It’s summer time, and summer isn’t complete without backyard barbeques, boat trips, and tailgating. Enjoy some pre-made chicken salad at any of these outdoor events. See my recipe, just in time for the 4th of July!
I think grilling your chicken is the way to begin a delicious chicken salad. Either way, I choose to brine mine before doing any heating (see pork tenderloin recipe posted April 24).
Ingredients for an All-American Chicken Salad:
2 chicken breasts diced into small cubes
3 stalks celery diced into small pieces
2-3 tbsp diced red onion
Mayo of choice – right or wrong, Hellman’s is my mayo of choice
Mustard of choice – I really enjoyed using this walnut Dijon mustard, which I picked up in Georgetown at Dean and Deluca
Juice from half a lemon
1-3 tbsp of fresh dill (up to you, I usually lean on the heavy side of all fresh herbs)
S&P
