Notes
  • Rotisserie chicken works very well for this dill pickle chicken salad recipe because it is tender and flavorful.
  • If the salad becomes thick after refrigeration, add a small splash of pickle juice or mayonnaise and mix again.
  • For a lighter version, replace part of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
