Tasty Chicken Salad: Pickle De Gallo Chicken Salad
Here’s how you can make this tasty chicken salad.
Ingredients (serves 10)
• 2.5 lb cooked white chicken rotisserie or grilled (1120g)
• 14 oz container of Pickle De Gallo® 400g
• ½ cup low-fat Greek yogurt 120g
• ¼ cup lite mayo 60g
• ¼ cup yellow mustard 60g
• ¼ cup sweet relish 60g
• 10 oz bag shredded cabbage 284g
• 1 ½ tsp. kosher salt
• ½ tsp. black pepper
Instructions
1. Chop or shred your chicken well and add to a large bowl with the rest of the ingredients.
2. Toss and stir very well to get everything combined. Store in the fridge all week for lunches and snacks!
3. I love to eat this on rice thins/cakes or, of course, our favorite chips or crackers. It’s also delicious on a piece of toast or stuffed into a toasted pita.
Notes
This is an extra easy version of my original favorite pickle chicken salad, for those days you really don’t want to chop anything! I added cabbage because I could just open the bag and throw it in, but celery would maybe be a more traditional and yummy option! I also love lots of green onions and fresh dill!
