Notes

  • This salad is best served chilled to let the flavors meld together.
  • You can substitute rotisserie chicken with cooked shredded chicken breast if preferred.
  • Adjust the amount of pickle juice to taste, depending on how tangy you like the salad.
  • For a lighter version, use all Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise.
  • Fresh dill is essential for the bright, herbaceous flavor; dried dill can be used but reduce quantity to 1 teaspoon.
