Chicken Salad

Method

Prepare the Chicken Salad

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, mayonnaise, chopped celery, chopped red onion, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and fresh dill (if using).

  2. 2

    Mix Well

    Stir all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

  3. 3

    Chill

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Prepare Bread

    While the chicken salad is chilling, prepare your bread. If using whole grain or white bread, you may toast it lightly if desired.

  2. 5

    Layer Ingredients

    On one slice of bread, place a leaf of lettuce, a generous scoop of chicken salad, and a slice or two of tomato.

  3. 6

    Top and Serve

    Add another slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich. Cut in half if desired, and serve immediately.
