Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups chicken or turkey (about 1/2 roasted chicken or 3 cooked chicken breasts
  • 4 stalks celery (diced)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 shallots or 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 1/22/3 cups mayonnaise (enough to moisten or to taste*)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 1/21 teaspoon fresh tarragon
  • 1/21 tablespoon fresh chives (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Chop shallots or onion and brown/caramelize over medium low in butter.
  2. Chop chicken and dice celery.
  3. Add chicken, celery, shallots, mayo and herbs to a bowl. Mix and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

We recommend organic ingredients when possible.

If you’re using dried spices divide the amount in half and add to taste.

If you enjoy the taste of basil, occasionally I’ll add a tablespoon of fresh, chopped sweet basil for a delicious touch.

Turkey leftovers are wonderful in this salad too!

*If you’re looking for a quick and easy substitute for mayonnaise, mix 1 cup greek yogurt with 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard, 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice or red wine vinegar, and a little bit of olive or avocado oil to taste. Voilà!
