    Chicken Salad with Mayo (Mayonezli Tavuk Salatasi)

    Chicken Salad with Mayo (Mayonezli Tavuk Salatasi)
    Binnur's Turkish Cookbook

    2 pieces of chicken breast, cooked, cut in medium size pieces
    ½ bunch dill, washed, drained, cut in small pieces
    ¼ red onion, sliced
    3 fresh green onions, cut in small pieces
    ½ cup small pickled cucumbers (cornichons), cut in small cubes
    1 cup mayonnaise

    Mix all the ingredients in a medium sized cup, then transfer onto the serving plate. You may garnish with black olives. Serve any kind of meal as a salad on the side. Or it's perfect for a sandwich using the corner of Turkish Bread.

      This looks unbelievable! I think adding the chips is GENIUS!

        It's beyond tasty. It's not your average American picnic chicken salad.

        And the chips, oh man... It is totally blasphemous, but the crunchy kettle cooked chips make your mouth so incredibly happy.

      I love chicken salad. I also like to add chips to my sandwiches like you did. It is so good.

        Those pickles are key, too. I haven't always found them, and substituting sweet ones doesn't work at all!

      This recipe is fantastic. (I made it Friday night.) I used leftover shredded chicken and part mayo/part plain yogurt and stuffed it into grilled whole wheat pita bread with romaine lettuce. I will be making this a lot this summer. (Like your mom's tomato beef pasta, this tastes better the next day, too.)

      I like the addition of the pickles (and the chips make me smile). I'd have to cut back on the dill but I can almost taste how good this is.
