Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (cold from the fridge)
  • 2 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • ½ cup chopped dill pickles
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt (more to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon cracked pepper (more to taste)

Instructions

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, fresh dill, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Notes

  • Swap apple cider vinegar for pickle juice to intensify the dill flavor.
  • If using salty pickles, taste before adding more salt.
  • Use baby dills for easy chopping and better flavor distribution, or mix in relish.
  • Red onion can be swapped for green onion or chives, or soaked in cold water to mellow the flavor.
