Classic Chicken Salad
Tender roasted chicken tossed in a simply seasoned, creamy dressing with bits of crunchy celery and fresh dill in this classic chicken salad recipe.
I recently had a craving for a simple chicken salad sandwich because it takes me back to my younger days. I had some leftover roasted chicken in the fridge so I threw together this classic chicken salad recipe that I found on Spend with Pennies and made myself a delicious sandwich. This chicken salad recipe is very adaptable so you can switch it up by adding other herbs, cranberries, grapes, or nuts and you can serve it on your favorite type of bread, over lettuce, or as a spread for crackers.

Combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, Dijon mustard, chives, and fresh dill together in a medium bowl; mix until well combined.
Add the chicken, onion, and celery then gently mix until well combined and evenly coated with the dressing. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Serve on bread, toast, lettuce, or with crackers. Enjoy.

Simple, quick and so tasty! I need to make some too for the lunch 🙂
Does look like the classic version and my favorite use of turkey. A sandwich and chips makes for a nice lunch for you.
