Scale

  • 1/2 cup diced dill pickles
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

  • In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Stir in shredded chicken and chopped eggs until well-coated.
  • Add diced celery, green onions, dill pickles, and fresh dill, folding gently till combined.

For creamier texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt.
Chilling the salad enhances flavors; prepare ahead if possible.
Use rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation.
