Discover how to make the perfect honeybaked ham chicken salad with our easy, flavorful recipe! Ideal for any meal.
Equipment
- Chopping board
- Sharp knife
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Mixing spoon
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup diced honeybaked ham
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped spring onions
Instructions
Step 1 – Prep Ingredients
- Chop and measure all your ingredients so everything is ready to mix.
- Combine chicken, ham, celery, and spring onions in a large mixing bowl.
- Make sure your chicken is cooled down before mixing, as warm chicken can melt the dressing, making it too runny.
Step 2 – Make the Dressing
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir to combine thoroughly.
- A good dressing should coat the ingredients lightly; avoid drowning your salad in too much sauce.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise.
- Add crunch by tossing in some slivered almonds or walnuts.
- Let the salad chill for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
