If you love the flavor of honey mustard dipping sauce, you are going to adore this chicken salad. It uses shredded rotisserie chicken for ease, mixed with crisp celery and crunchy almonds for the perfect texture in every bite.

This recipe is a lifesaver during warm summer months because you do not have to turn on the oven. It keeps well in the fridge, so feel free to make a batch ahead of time for your weekly lunches or an easy picnic side dish.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the shredded chicken, chopped celery, and toasted almonds into a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  3. 3

    Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir everything well until the chicken is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Taste and add a little more salt or pepper if you prefer, then serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for an hour to let the flavors blend.

💡 Tips

You can serve this on buttery croissants or toasted sourdough for a classic sandwich. For a lighter meal, scoop the salad into large romaine lettuce leaves or enjoy it with your favorite sturdy crackers.
