Dill & Cucumber Chicken Salad
I confess when I was younger I was not all that fond of chicken salad sandwiches. I am not sure why. It is something which I have taken to mostly in my older life. There wasn’t anything really per se that I didn’t like about them, I guess I just always preferred sliced chicken to chicken salad. To be honest, I hadn’t really tried it . . . I just always thought that I wouldn’t like them, and so I was hesitant to try. When I worked at the Manor though, I used to make Chicken Salad for my boss now and then, and in the process I was required to taste it, and I then learned that actually, Chicken Salad was kinda tasty!
Makes 8 servings
375g cooked chicken, cubed (3 cups)
40g sour cream (1/3 cup)
65g mayonnaise (1/3 cup)
1 TBS Dijon mustard
4 spring onions, trimmed and chopped
6 inches of an English cucumber, peeled, deseeded and chopped (abput 1/2 cup)
2 sticks celery, trimmed and chopped
2 pickles, chopped
2 tsp fresh dill leaves
1 tsp fine sea salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, stirring until completely combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as required. Use as desired. Its lovely served as a salad, scooped onto lettuce leaves, or in a sandwich with another pickle on the side. I like mine on toasted whole wheat bread with a healthy layer of salad leaves. Store any leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator.
Whether it’s the healthy addition to your cheeseboard, for adding a tasty crunch to your sandwich or the secret ingredient in your salmon terrine, pickles are bigger than ever (The London Evening Standard flagged them as an upcoming trend), which is why Mrs Elswood, the number 1 pickled cucumber brand in the UK is excited to announce their return as a sponsor of National Picnic Week (15-24 June 2018).
