Ingredients

Scale

3 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
3/4 cup diced dill pickles
2 ribs celery, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons pickle juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch salt, to taste
Croissants, pita, toast, or lettuce cups (optional)
Extra dill and pickle slices (optional)

Instructions

In a large bowl, gently combine the diced chicken, pickles, celery, red onion, and fresh dill.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, lemon juice, garlic powder, pepper, and salt until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and fold gently until evenly coated.
Cover and chill the salad for at least 20–30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve on croissants, pitas, toast, or lettuce cups with extra dill and pickle slices if desired.

Notes

For a lighter version, replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. Add extra vegetables like diced cucumber or bell peppers for crunch. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not freeze.
