Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 3 cups Rotisserie Chicken Shredded or chopped helps cut your prep time; canned chicken works too if you're in a hurry.
  • ¾ cup Dill Pickles Roughly chopped; spicy dill pickles can add some extra heat!
  • ½ cup Celery Finely chopped adds a fresh crunch.
  • 1 bunch Fresh Dill About ⅓ cup, finely chopped; dill seasoning is a good substitute if you don’t have fresh on hand.
For the Dressing
  • ⅓ cup Greek Yogurt Boosts creaminess while upping the protein content.
  • ⅓ cup Mayonnaise Provides a smooth, creamy dressing base.
  • 2 tbsp Mustard Adds a lovely tang; a mix of grainy and dijon mustard is nice.
  • 1 whole Lemon Zest and juice brighten up the dish.
  • ½-1 tsp Salt Essential for enhancing flavors; adjust to taste.
