Ingredients

Chicken Salad

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • ⅓ cup organic mayonnaise, homemade or store-bought (add more as needed)
  • ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil, drained and chopped fine
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar or lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded cooked chicken, mayonnaise, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, capers, green onions, white wine vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and black pepper into a medium bowl.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until well combined ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the dressing and flavors are distributed.
  3. Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Sample the salad and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or mayonnaise if desired to achieve your preferred taste and consistency.
  4. Store Properly: Transfer the chicken salad to an airtight container and refrigerate. It can be kept fresh for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Use shredded rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken for convenience.
  • For a tangier salad, use lemon juice instead of white wine vinegar.
  • If you prefer a drier salad, drain sun-dried tomatoes well to avoid excess oil.
  • Can be served on its own, as a sandwich filling, or on a bed of greens.
  • Add a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder to enhance flavor if desired.
