Notes

  • Use leftover or rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • For a lighter option, substitute mayonnaise with additional Greek yogurt.
  • Fresh dill provides a brighter flavor, but dried dill works well too.
  • Adjust the amount of pickle brine to control the tanginess.
  • This salad keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
