• ½ cup mayonnaise (can mix with a little sour cream or Greek yogurt if you like it lighter)
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, for a little tang)
• 2 celery stalks, finely diced
• 2 tbsp red onion or green onion, finely minced
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice or white vinegar
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• (Optional) 1 hard-boiled egg, finely chopped — makes it richer and creamier

1. In a large bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Dijon, lemon juice, and garlic powder.
2. Add in chicken, celery, and onion. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. If using, gently fold in the chopped hard-boiled egg.
5. Chill 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.

Serving Ideas:

• On toasted sandwich bread or a roll

 👍

Homemade rotisserie chicken salad will keep safely in the fridge for 3 to 4 days, as long as:

• It’s stored in an airtight container.
• Kept in the coldest part of the fridge (not the door).
• Not left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours (or 1 hour if it’s a hot day).

✨ Quick tip: If you plan to make a larger batch, you can prep the shredded chicken and chopped veggies separately — then just mix with mayo/dressing right before serving. That way it stays fresher longer.
