Shredded Chicken – This recipe starts with already cooked and shredded chicken. Try my easy crockpot shredded chicken, shred up our Instant Pot whole chicken, or just pick up a rotisserie chicken from the store!
Dill Pickles – We like to start with baby dill pickles and chop them up into smaller pieces. If you want smaller or larger pieces feel free to chop the pickles as finely as you like!
Hard Boiled Eggs – This is an easy way to add extra protein and stretch your chicken salad. Plus, it adds a nice texture!
Pecans – Adding chopped pecans is a great way to add some more crunchy, buttery texture to the salad.
Red Onion – We love the bite of red onion in our chicken salad, but if you want a less strong flavor, soak them in cold water for 10 minutes.
Dressing Ingredients – This tangy, creamy chicken salad dressing is made with mayonnaise, fresh dill, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and cracked pepper!
