Hellmann’s Mayonnaise recently contacted me asking if I’d like to try their new Organic Mayonnaise. I gave a quick yes! Hellmann’s is my favorite mayo and this one is really good.
I decided to try it in a chicken salad. This recipe is a little different than most chicken salads and it’s really good. The dressing is creamy and flavorful, despite the simple ingredients. Red onion lends a punch of flavor and cucumbers add crispness. The chick peas and chicken are a surprisingly good combo.
For this recipe, I used chicken I’d cooked in the Instant Pot. More on that another time, but I will say that’s a great way to cook a bunch of chicken. I used part of the chicken for this recipe and froze enough for two more meals.
Here’s what you’ll need to make Chicken Salad with Chick Peas:
The ingredient list is very simple. The salad comes together quickly and is very healthy too. It would make a great packed lunch or easy dinner.
