- Cut your cooked chicken breast into small even cubes. You can also shred the meat with two forks. Place the chicken into your large mixing bowl now.
- Dice your celery and red onion very finely today. Add them to the bowl with the prepared chicken. This adds the famous crunch to your chicken salad.
- Whisk the mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice together. Do this in a small bowl until very smooth. This is the secret to a professional creamy dressing.
- Chop your fresh dill into very small pieces now. Stir the herbs into the creamy dressing mixture well. This adds a beautiful green color and fresh scent.
- Pour the dressing over the chicken and the vegetables. Fold everything together gently with your rubber spatula today. Make sure every piece of meat is coated well.
- Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Let the salad sit in the fridge for bit. This helps all the fresh flavors blend together perfectly.

- Dice the celery small for a better eating experience.
- Add the lemon juice slowly to control the zest.
- Use fresh dill instead of dried for better flavor.
- Chill the salad before serving for a refreshing taste.
- Do not over-mix to keep the chicken chunks whole.
- Add a little yogurt for a lighter dressing version.
- Season again right before serving for the best taste.
