Chicken salad spread highlighting Dijon mustard. Lower fat and calories than traditional chicken salad.
It has taken a few tries to get the mustard to mayonnaise ratio right for the way I like it. Because Dijon can be overpowering, there needs to be a bit of mayonnaise to cut through the mustard and finish moistening the spread.
The chicken is processed in a food processor, allowing this chicken salad spread to be spread thinner.
It’s OK if you find Dijon mustard overpowering, it can be an acquired taste for some.
Just use way more mayonnaise and then add regular mustard or try a hint of Dijon mustard to finish this spread.
This is great served as a sandwich filling, on crackers, and even with fresh vegetables.
Try it inside of a tomato, it’s pretty tasty that way too.
