In case you were wondering what the first thing you should make with your brand new batch of homemade mayo is, it’s this chicken salad.
Could it get easier than a five-ingredient chicken salad? I mean, really. And I am ALL about the simple, in this house. Especially in the summer. No one wants to spend hours in the kitchen when it’s 80 degrees out- which is why we rely on light prep, and simple ingredients- like this deliciously easy cucumber dill chicken salad. It’s both refreshing and filling, perfect for picnics or an easy-grab lunch at home.
