One Bowl Chicken Salad Recipe
This chicken salad recipe is easy to make, just one bowl, and ready in minutes. Perfect on crusty whole grain bread or with crackers. You'll never want store-bought again!
Ingredients
- 3 cups chopped or shredded chicken
- ¾ cup finely chopped red onion
- ¾ cup finely chopped celery
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 and ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice, optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the chicken, onion, celery, and parsley. Stir together.
- Add in the mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and lemon juice (if using), and stir together until everything is coated evenly.
Notes
- Make Ahead Instructions: The individual ingredients can be prepped ahead of time (a few days in advance.) The chicken salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Chicken: Any type of chicken can be used. I normally use rotisserie chicken since it's easier.
- Onion: For best results, use red onion— though any type of onion will work.
- Mayonnaise: Any brand of mayonnaise works. You could also do ½ cup Greek yogurt and ½ cup of mayonnaise if you want.
- Lemon juice: This is optional. It tastes great with or without it. If using Greek yogurt, I recommend not adding the lemon juice.
