Recipe Tips & Variations

Here are a few suggestions for preparing your dill pickle chicken salad.

• Use canned chicken. If you’re trying to save time or money, you can replace the fresh cooked chicken with canned chicken. Keep in mind the texture and taste will be different.
• Can I use pickle relish instead of diced pickles? For best results, I highly recommend buying whole pickles and chopping them. It really does have a different flavor and texture than the relish does. But in a pinch, you can use pickle relish.
• Chill before serving. If you can, make your chicken salad far enough in advance that it can chill for at least an hour, to really give the flavors time to meld.

What to Serve With This Easy Chicken Salad

I typically eat this dill pickle chicken salad as a sandwich (it’s wonderful on a croissant), so I like serving it with potato chips, french fries, or onion rings.

You can also make it low carb by ditching the bread and serving as lettuce wraps instead. Or you can just eat it with a spoon!

How to Store Leftovers

Store any leftover dill pickle chicken salad in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Give it a
