Emerald Mountain Chicken Salad
To give plain old chicken salad a new twist for spring, we infused it with plenty of bright and herby goodness by adding a few shakes of our Emerald Mountain Dust. Made with wild greens, herbs like parsley and wild thyme, roasted garlic, and ramp salt, it brings tons of flavor (and color!) to this tangy dish. We round things out with juicy red grapes, crunchy celery, and a touch of red onion for an updated lunch favorite that's sure to please.

For ease, we like using a store-bought rotisserie chicken for this recipe, but you can use cooked chicken breasts or thighs as well (plan to use 4 breasts or 8 thighs to equal 4 to 5 cups of chopped meat). This recipe can easily be halved or even doubled, depending on what size crowd you're feeding!
To add even more crunch, try swapping in chopped apple for the grapes or tossing in a handful of toasted walnuts or pecans. Chicken salad can be stored, covered, in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
Ingredients
1 rotisserie chicken, meat pulled and chopped into bite-size pieces (about 4 to 5 cups)
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
- 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- 2 ½ tsp. Emerald Mountain Dust
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, onion, grapes, and celery. Toss to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients, then pour over chicken mixture and stir until well coated.
- Sandwich chicken salad between slices of your favorite bread, serve with crackers, or pile into lettuce wraps. Happy spring!
