Ingredients
  

Salad Components
  • 2 cups Cooked, shredded chicken breast Rotisserie chicken works well
  • 1 cup Diced ripe tomato
  • 4 strips Cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup Finely chopped celery Optional, for crunch
Dressing
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Or to taste

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced tomato, crumbled bacon, and celery (if using).
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture. Fold everything together gently until the ingredients are evenly coated.
  4. Taste the salad and adjust salt or pepper if needed.
  5. Serve immediately, or cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to blend before serving on bread or lettuce.

Notes

You can add shredded lettuce directly into the salad for more texture, or reserve it for serving on bread. This salad pairs well with toasted bread.
