Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 can(s) 12 1/2 oz. chunky white meat chicken breast, drained
5 medium gherkin pickles, chopped
1/2 medium onion, grated
1/4 c dijon mustard
1 c mayonnaise, or less if desired
4 large eggs, room temperature, (boiled & chopped)
1/2 tsp coarse grated black pepper
1 medium lemon, quartered
lettuce leaves (optional)
1 Tbsp chopped green onion tops, optional
assorted crackers or bread of your choice

Steps:

  • 1. Boil eggs then remove from heat. Let cool, then peel and chop and add to a medium size bowl. Note: I find that if eggs are allowed to come to room temperature before you boil them they are much easier to peel.
  • 2. Chop gherkin pickles and add to same bowl. Grate onion half into bowl as well. More if you prefer. Add DiJon mustard. Note: Grating onion instead of chopping allows you to have the flavor of onions without the big chunky pieces.
  • 3. Add mayonnaise.
  • 4. Drain chicken, and add to bowl.
  • 5. Mix all the ingredients together.Line platter with lettuce leaves, and lemon wedges.
  • 6. Add chicken salad & top with chopped green onions if desired. Add assorted crackers. I like to add fresh squeezed lemon juice on mine.
  • 7. Add your favorite garnish items, sliced Flat Pickles, Red Onions, Fresh Tomato Slices & Lettuce leaves.
  • 8. Serve on your favorite toasted sliced buns with tomato slices, flat pickles, & sliced red onions.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken salad turned out bland and watery. I think I might have added too much mayonnaise.
